Regarding GUI toolkits that support accessibility directly there's some information about Qt attached. Rosegarden and MusE both use Qt/KDE and both support softsynths through the ALSA seq interface so there might be some benefit in attempting to use these apps under Qt3.0 directly.

Nothing too serious at the moment I'm afraid. http://doc.trolltech.com/3.1/keyfeatures30.html "Accessibility Accessibility means making software usable and accessible to a wide range of users, including those with disabilities. In Qt 3.0, most widgets provide accessibility information for assistive tools that can be used by a wide range of disabled users. Qt standard widgets like buttons or range controls are fully supported. Support for complex widgets, like e.g. QListView, is in development. Existing applications that make use of standard widgets will become accessible just by using Qt 3.0. Qt uses the Active Accessibility infrastructure on Windows, and needs the MSAA SDK, which is part of most platform SDKs. With improving standardization of accessibility on other platforms, Qt will support assistive technologies on other systems, too. " Now that's all nice and dandy but it doesn't say anything about what this "accessibility information" is, which platforms it works with, etc... Anyway, it will be there at some point, yes. -- Guillaume http://www.telegraph-road.org ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm Tungsten T handheld.
