AWT based Java applications are not accessible to screen readers. The Access Bridge is for Swing based applications. These type of applications cannot be JAWS scripted either. Best approach is if you're the developer, use a different GUI framework such as SWT. Or if you are the user, do your best to find a different program. -----Original Message----- From: jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jawsscripts-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Saurabh Malav Sent: Sunday, November 29, 2009 10:28 AM To: jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jawsscripts] Accessibility of java awt based application Hi Friends, While working on the JAWS scripting of some inaccessible applications, I found that one application which is developed in JAVA by using AWT framework is totally inaccessible with JAWS. Currently JAWS can only read the title of the window and is not reading about any button, text, menu or other controls. I have also installed Java Access Bridge version 2.0.1 and also tried to read information by using JAWS and Invisible cursor, but found no improvement. This is my first interaction with AWT based application and could not find any help from the internet too. Currently JAVA Access Bridge v2.0.1, JRE v1.6.0 and JAWS version 10.0 are installed on the system. I have following questions: 1. Is it possible to make JAVA AWT based application accessible to use with JAWS by using any approach? 2. Can any other screen reader like Windows Eyes or System Access can work more better with Java based application? 3. Is Java Access Bridge version 2.0.1 is compatible with JRE version 1.6.0?
