Re: [orca-list] UI automation equivalent on Linux?

[Thomas Ward <thomasward1978 gmail com>]

Hi Brandon,

Well, Linux accessibility is quite a bit different from Windows so
there isn't anything exactly like U.I. Automation on Linux. I guess
the closest equivalent would be At-Spi2 which is the core
accessibility API for the various graphical toolkits and other
accessibility APIs. However, if you just want to create an accessible
graphical front-end for a game or another application just use the
latest version of GTK+ as your graphical toolkit and accessibility
will be built-in.

Cheers!
