KDE Accessibility Project

Welcome to the home page of the KDE Accessibility Project.

Quickstart

E.g. in Kubuntu 22.10:

sudo apt install kcalc accerciser
# As per https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Accessibility/AT-SPI2/
export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1
# Or export QT_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY_ALWAYS_ON=1
kcalc &
accerciser &

The application accerciser has the title Accerciser Accessibility Explorer. kcalc should appear in the application accerciser, in the left hand side tree view. If kcalc does not appear, from the accerciser application's main menu > View > Refresh Registry.
