Qt AT-SPI 2 Bridge

Info

This is about the Qt AT-SPI 2 bridge. The bridge is a Qt Accessibility plugin that exposes the internals of a Qt application to interested accessibility clients such as screenreaders.

AT-SPI on D-Bus at Linuxfoundation

The source code for the bridge can be found here: Qt AT-SPI on gitorious

Tools

With the Gnome efforts to implement AT-SPI 2 we have some really helpful tools:

Orca Orca Debugging

Tutorial on techbase

Python

Testing/Development

You need a very recent environment, most notably: pyatspi2, at-spi2-core and at-spi2-atk

Inside a Gnome session the a11y uses a dedicated d-bus. So if you want to monitor what is going on, you should use: dbus-monitor --address `xprop -root | grep AT_SPI_BUS | sed -e 's/.*= "//' | sed -e 's/"$//'`
