Re: [orca-list] can QT apps be expected to have accessibility?

[Thomas Ward <thomasward1978 gmail com>]

Hi,

Well, Qt accessibility is still hit and miss. Accessibility is still 
somewhat buggy. You might use an application where the buttons and  
check boxes speak with Orca, but the edit fields don't say anything. I'm 
sure this will get fixed eventually, but if you want an assessment of Qt 
accessibility right now I wouldn't depend on it for accessibility yet. 
Its too hit and miss as I said. Qt access is still very much in its 
infancy compared to GTK+.

Cheers!
