Through the Java Accessibility
API, developers will be able to create Java applications that can interact
with assistive
technologies such as screen readers, speech recognition systems and
Braille terminals. Accessibility enabled Java applications are not dependent
on machines that require assistive technology support, rather these applications
will run on any Java-enabled machine with or without assistive technologies.
The Java Accessibility API is one of the core foundation services in
the Java Foundation Classes, a comprehensive set of graphical user interface
components and foundation services designed to simplify deployment of Internet,
intranet and desktop applications.
The Java Accessibility API and all the features of the Java Foundation
Class will become part of the next version of the Java Development Kit,
due later this year.
