Hi, the qt-at-spi bridge enables accessibility via screen readers for Qt applications on Linux.
I'm happy to release the Qt AT-SPI bridge 0.2.0 into the world. Based on some user feedback I could fix a few things. It's also nice to note that the Qt 5 version of the bridge is up to date and working even better since we could make some improvements in the internals. Changes since 0.1: * Sent the right text for text insert/delete events when editing text * Password line edits are marked as such * Improved exposing of keyboard shortcuts * Fix menus (again) * Expose more action interfaces * Some table/list improvements (hopefully) And quite a bit of cleanup, as always. Dependencies: Qt 4.8.0 What is that thing? A bridge that lets Qt applications interface with the AT- SPI accessibility framework that GNOME provides. For users that mostly means that the Orca screenreader should work nicely with Qt applications. You need a distribution that uses AT-SPI 2 (check your packages, any recent distro should do, this is part of standard GNOME). The source can be found here: https://gitorious.org/qt-at-spi The commit you should grab is: a213019e84732da7fea5162f8c79ee42b8a3b576, tagged v0.2.0. Or download the tar.gz from gitorious: https://gitorious.org/qt-at-spi/qt-at-spi/commits/v0.2 $ sha1sum qt-at-spi-qt-at-spi-v0.2.tar.gz 3831060a970939461326cdf1a21fbed3feff4d67 The plugin for Qt 4 does not get loaded unless an environment variable gets set, so there should be no risk of anyone blowing up their system. In order to enable the plugin, export "QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1". For Qt 5 this is no longer needed.
