> Like the modern LSR and Orca screen readers, Accerciser uses pyORBit to talk
> AT-SPI with other applications. The legacy cspi module is avoided.
>
> * Plugin architecture
>
> Create a Python module, drop it in a folder, and have it load as a plugin pane
> with full access to AT-SPI and the selected element in the accessibility tree
> view.
>
> * Interface browser and event monitor plugins
>
> All the features you've come to expect from a poke tool, and then some.
>
> * IPython console plugin
>
> A full, interactive Python shell with access to the accessible object selected
> in the tree view; all AT-SPI interfaces, methods and attributes; and any other
> Python modules. Supports autocompletion and a million other niceties thanks to
> IPython.
>
> * API browser plugin
>
> Shows the interfaces, methods, and attributes available on the selected
> accessible object.
>
> * Global hotkeys
>
> Move the tree view quickly to the last focused accessible or the one under the
> mouse pointer. Insert a marker into the event monitor log for easy
> identification at a later time.
>
> * Customizable UI layout
>
> Move plugin tabs to different panels or even separate windows to view them
> concurrently.
>
> * Accessibility!
>
> Accerciser does not disable its own accessibility.

> * Yelp documentation
>
> Included in the package.
