17593N/AATK (Accessibility Tool Kit) is a set of interfaces which, when implemented by

17593N/Aapplications and user-interface component libraries, supports the use of

17593N/Aapplications by persons with disabilities. ATK provides a consistent set of

17593N/Ain-process interfaces which conforming components implement, either directly or

17593N/Avia the use of add-on libraries. These interfaces are in turn exported

17593N/Aout-of-process for use by assistive technologies (see

17593N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>at-spi</refentrytitle>

17593N/A<manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>).

17593N/AUsing ATK, applications can explicitly provide descriptive information about

17593N/Atheir components. By using ATK-enabled toolkits such as GTK+, applications

17593N/Aobtain built-in accessibility support.

17593N/AThe ATK API is a queryable, interfaced API for obtaining textual,

17593N/Aattribute-based, and coordinate information from user interface components, and

17593N/Aalso provides a means of activating and interacting with those components

17593N/Awithout the direct use of the keyboard or system pointing device.
