Re: what is AT-SPI ?

["Gautam Ravi" <gautam ravichandran gmail com>]

Hi Henrik,

Thank you very much for your info on this.

What I am trying to do is to interface any Accessible Technology to my UI library which I created using GTK as a core.
One important thing what I want to share with you is that mine is an embedded device.

Is it possible that I can interface any AT directly with my ATK without AT-SPI in between. Is it really essential for me. Iam so much concerned because AT-SPI is resource hungry and it consumes more space I suppose. Am I Correct with this part. Please help me out.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
R Gautam

Your custom widgets will only be accessible when AT-SPI is running, but
your widgets will work as normal without it. AT-SPI is generally only
run by those who need assistive technology or people doing testing, and
is turned on explicitly.

Are you doing this to provide access or some general-use automation?
