Re: [orca-list] How does Orca "see"?

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi James:

Orca uses an API approach to talk to the apps directly at a level that 
essentially allows the application itself to be its own off screen 
model.  This API is called the AT-SPI, or the "Assistive Technology 
Service Provider Interface."

Hope this helps!
