- Atk is cool
+ <para>
+ GNOME provides support for accessibility devices using the ATK
+ framework. This framework defines a set of interfaces to which
+ graphical interface components adhere. This allows, for instance,
+ screen readers to read the text of an interface and interact with its
+ controls. ATK support is built into GTK+ and the rest of the GNOME
+ platform, so any application using GTK+ will have reasonable
+ accessibility support for free.
+ </para>

+ <para>
+ Nonetheless, you should be aware of accessibility issues when when
+ developing your applications. Although GTK+ interfaces provide
+ reasonable accessibility by default, you can often improve how well
+ your program behaves with accessibility tools by providing additional
+ information to ATK. If you develop custom widgets, you should ensure
+ that they expose their properties to ATK
