17 <title>Overview</title>
19 GNOME provides support for accessibility devices using the ATK
20 framework. This framework defines a set of interfaces to which
21 graphical interface components adhere. This allows, for instance,
22 screen readers to read the text of an interface and interact with its
23 controls. ATK support is built into GTK+ and the rest of the GNOME
24 platform, so any application using GTK+ will have reasonable
25 accessibility support for free.
29 Nonetheless, you should be aware of accessibility issues when when
30 developing your applications. Although GTK+ interfaces provide
31 reasonable accessibility by default, you can often improve how well
32 your program behaves with accessibility tools by providing additional
33 information to ATK. If you develop custom widgets, you should ensure
34 that they expose their properties to ATK
