<title>什么是辅助功能？</title>
<para>辅助功能是指协助残疾人士参与大量日常活动，包括日常工作以及服务、产品、资讯的使用。GNOME 包含一系列库与支持框架能让残疾人士使用 GNOME 用户环境的所有功能。</para>
<para>因此，必要时综合利用辅助技术——语音接口，屏幕阅读器，复用输入设备等等——可以帮助那些永久性或暂时性残疾人士便捷地使用 GNOME 桌面和应用程序。辅助技术对那些不在家里或办公室中使用电脑的人也非常有用。比如，如果你被堵在车流之中，你可以使用语音输入和输出来查阅你的电子邮件。</para>
<para>辅助技术通过使用辅助工具包 (ATK) 的 API 接收来自应用程序的信息，ATK 可以在 GNOME 仓库中找到。由于辅助 API 内置到了 GNOME 的 widgets 中，所以你不需做额外工作就可以让你的 GNOME 程序合理运行在辅助技术上。例如，辅助技术能够自动读取你设置在程序中的部件的标签（比如 GTK 的函数调用：<function>gtk_label_set_text()</function> 或者 <function>gtk_button_new_with_label()</function>）。它们也能找到与某个部件相关联的任何提示文本，然后使用该文本来向用户描述那个部件。</para>
<para>当然，你也可以多花点心思，利用辅助技术来让你的程序运行的更加流畅。这除了可以帮助个人用户，也可以让你的产品在政府部门和教育市场中更具吸引力，因为如今法律要求这个领域的很多应用必须得无障碍。</para>

<section>
<title>残疾类型</title>

<para><emphasis>视觉障碍 </emphasis>——包括弱视（视力昏暗模糊，远/近视，色盲和视力狭窄）到完全失明。一些糟糕的文本字体颜色选择和需要手眼协调的任务（比如移动鼠标）都可能为这些用户造成困难。</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis>运动障碍 </emphasis>——肌肉控制力差或虚弱到不足以使用标准键鼠。例如，他们可能无法同时按住两个键，或者更容易意外按错。</para>

<title>辅助功能在 GNOME 中如何工作</title>
<para>辅助工具包 (ATK) 描述了一组接口，要访问它们就需要通过 GUI 组件自行实现。这些接口是工具包无关的，意思就是你可以用任意部件集来实现，比如 GTK，Motif 或者 Qt 。</para>
<para>
The implementation for the GTK widgets is in a module called GAIL (GNOME Accessibility Implementation Library), which is dynamically loadable at runtime by a GTK application. Once
loaded, those parts of your application that use standard GTK widgets will have a basic level of accessibility, without you having to modify your application at all. If GAIL is not
loaded, GTK widgets will have a default accessibility implementation that essentially returns no information, though it nominally conforms to the ATK API. Applications which use
Bonobo controls, particularly out-of-process ones, also load accessibility support code from module libgail-gnome. Whether or not applications on the GNOME desktop automatically load these accessibility support libraries depends on the value of a <application>gconf</application> key, "/desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility"; a boolean value of "true" enables support for assistive technologies and applications which call gnome_program_init will automatically load the appropriate accessibility libraries at runtime. "Pure GTK+ applications", e.g. those that use gtk+ but do not link to libgnome, rely on the value of the GTK_MODULES environment variable, which must be set to "gail:atk-bridge" in order to enable assistive technology support.
</para>
<para>长久以来，大部分其他桌面平台所使用的辅助技术必须为桌面应用维护一个复杂的离屏模式，这种模式基于对操作系统事件的监听，使用不受支持的操作系统、应用程序特性和 API，还有一些其他高度不可移植的技术。这就使得辅助技术支持有点 "不健壮"，需要特定的操作系统和指定的应用程序，甚至还要指定的应用程序版本。相反，在 GNOME 桌面，通过 GNOME 辅助功能框架，使用服务提供者接口（SPI）独立工具包，AT（辅助技术） 需要的所有信息均可由运行的应用程序提供。SPI 为基于 UNIX 的 AT 提供一些内置服务，比如屏幕阅读器和屏幕放大镜。通过一致而稳定的 API 从运行的程序中获取辅助信息，可以在大多数情况下避免使用离屏模式。对应用程序的辅助功能支持一般通过合适的 API （比如，ATK 多用于原生C程序而Java辅助 API 用于Java 应用）内置在应用程序工具包中，然后通过相应的 "bridge" 导出成通用 "AT-SPI" 接口（见下图）。</para>

</figure>
<para>GNOME 内置辅助功能支持意味着使用 GNOME 部件创建应用程序可以 "免费" 获得辅助技术的支持，而不用额外使用与内置支持相冲突的迂回方法。</para>
<para>如果一个 gtk+/GNOME 部件遵循本文档中的普遍辅助指南，实现了 ATK 接口并在用户界面上扮演合适的角色，则它是具有辅助性的。 ATK 的执行由 "stock" GNOME 部件工具集提供，而且大多数情况下，由现有 GTK+/GNOME 部件派生出来的新部件同时也会继承合适的辅助功能支持。</para>
<para>
Though GNOME's built-in accessibility support provides significant functionality without any accessibility-specific code changes on the part of the application, applications can often improve on the default descriptions provided for some of the widgets, and tailor them to that widget's specific purpose in your application, via straightforward calls to ATK methods in the application. For instance, in most cases applications should add or change the textual descriptions for these widgets with the appropriate ATK function call, so that an assistive technology can describe their purpose or state to the user. See <link linkend="gad-coding-guidelines">Coding Guidelines for Supporting Accessibility</link> for more information.
</para>
<para>如果你的程序使用自定义部件，可能需要做些工作让它们得以使用辅助技术。参阅 <link linkend="gad-custom"> 让自定义组件获得辅助功能 </link> 和 <link linkend="gad-api-examples"> 使用辅助 API 的示例 </link> 获取更多信息。</para>

The examples in the rest of this section are mostly to give you a flavor of the scope of the ATK. They cover techniques that you may never need to use as an application developer, although they may be of interest if you are writing your own custom widgets (see <link linkend="gad-custom">Making Custom Components Accessible</link>) or if you want to write an assistive technology application. Whatever the purpose, the <ulink url="ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gail/">GAIL source code</ulink> serves as an excellent tutorial for advanced ATK usage. Please note that since GTK+ 3.1.10, Gail has been merged into GTK+ and is no longer a module on its own.

<title>Gtk 模块</title>
<para>程序使用 GAIL（GTK 部件的辅助功能实现库）时，它会被当作 GTK 模块引入程序。GTK 模块在 <varname>GTK_MODULES</varname> 环境变量指定了模块名称时，会被加载到程序空间。如果有多个模块库，以冒号间隔。例如：</para>

Connecting to a signal is slightly different if the signal supports detail. The <constant>children_changed</constant> signal supports the <parameter>add</parameter> detail. To connect to a signal when the <parameter>add</parameter> detail is also specified, this technique is used:

<title>ATK Implementation for a Specific Object</title>
<para>所有 <type>GObject</type> 均要实现一个 <function>get_type()</function> 函数。使用上面的命名惯例将函数命名为 <function>myatkimp_mytype_get_type()</function>。</para>
<para>
In this function, you specify which interfaces your object implements. If the following logic were included in this <function>get_type()</function> function, this object would implement the <type>ATK_TEXT</type> interface:

<title>获取辅助功能支持的用户界面指南</title>
<para>
When designing your application's GUI, there are a number of simple guidelines you should follow to ensure that it can be used by as wide an audience as possible, whether in conjunction with assistive technologies or not. Don't be fooled into thinking that this is just a case of "making your GUI usable by people with disabilities", though, and that you shouldn't bother if you know a disabled person is never going to use your application. Following these guidelines will improve the overall usability of your application for everyone who uses it - including you!
</para>

<section>
<title>综述</title>
<para>
We all get frustrated if we can't find a feature in an application, or make a mistake from which it takes a couple of minutes to recover, if it's possible to recover at all.  If you have some sort of disability, the chances are the effort and time penalties involved will be several times worse. Following a few basic guidelines can help prevent these sorts of situations for all users.
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Provide Undo for every action that changes the user's data or the application's settings. If possible, provide more than one level of undo and redo, and a history list to allow preview of what actions will be undone.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Provide commands to restore default settings. If a particular setting could make the application completely unusable for an individual, e.g. by making the fonts very small, it would be useful to provide an option to restore the default settings outside the application itself. This could be done using a command line switch, for example.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Help prevent users from doing the wrong thing. This is particularly important for actions that could be done by accident (e.g. mouse actions) or that cannot easily be undone (e.g. overwriting a file). Consider using confirmation dialogs or forcing the user to go into a particular mode to perform potentially destructive actions.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Minimize users' memory load. For example, let the user view multiple documents at the same time, and ensure online help or other instructions can remain visible while they carry out the procedure being described. Allow them to copy any information that is displayed, and paste it anywhere that data can be entered.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Don't make users insert disks. Depending on a user's particular disability, they may find it difficult to physically insert or change a disk, or they may find it hard to identify the correct disk in the first place. If your application is installed from CD-ROM, provide an option to copy all the files that will be required onto the user's hard drive.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Don't place frequently used functions deep in a menu structure. Whether you're using a mouse, keyboard or some other input device, deeply-nested menu items are best avoided. As well as the burden of remembering where to find them, they are always more difficult and time-consuming to access.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Don't lead users through unnecessary steps. For example, wizards are useful for users who have trouble handling large numbers of options at one time, but other users may need to minimize the amount of time or keystrokes they use.  Such users benefit from being able to skip unnecessary steps or go directly to the one they need. Consider providing a <guibutton>Finish</guibutton> button in wizards that skips right to the end and assumes default responses for the intermediate steps. If the process has many steps, consider asking the user at the start if they want to run through all the steps, or just the most commonly-used ones.

<title>键盘导航</title>
<para>
A well-designed keyboard user interface plays a key role when you are designing accessible software. Blind users can navigate software more effectively using the keyboard, because using the mouse depends on visual feedback of the mouse pointer location. Also, mobility impairments can prevent a user from successfully navigating using the mouse, because of the fine motor control skills required.
</para>
<para>
It is therefore important to make all mouse actions available from the keyboard, and include keyboard access to all toolbars, menus, links and buttons. Every function your application provides should be available using the keyboard alone. Hide your mouse while you're testing your application if you have to!
</para>
<para>
Most functionality should be easy to make accessible by using keyboard mnemonics and accelerators, and the toolkit's built-in navigation features. However, operations that rely on drag-and-drop, for example, may require more thought.
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Provide efficient keyboard access to all application features. Some users may be unable to use a mouse, and many "power-users" prefer to use the keyboard anyway. Also, some specialized assistive technology input devices may simulate keyboard events rather than mouse events. Since typing is difficult or even painful for some users, it is important to provide a keyboard interface that minimizes the number of keystrokes required for any given task.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Use a logical keyboard navigation order. When navigating around a window with the <keycap>Tab</keycap> key, keyboard focus should move between controls in a predictable order.  In Western locales, this is normally left to right and top to bottom.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Ensure correct tab order for controls whose enabled state is dependent on checkbox, radio button or toggle button state. When such a button is selected, all its dependent controls should be enabled, and all the dependent controls of any other button in the group should be disabled. When the user selects a checkbox, radio button or toggle button that has dependent controls, do not automatically give focus to the first dependent control, but instead leave the focus on the button.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Don't override existing system-level accessibility features. For example, <ulink url="http://www.rehab.uiuc.edu/accessx/overview.html">AccessX</ulink> is an Xserver extension that has been supported since X11R6. The MouseKeys feature of this extension allows mouse movement and button clicks to be simulated using the keypad. Therefore you should not add features to your application that can only be accessed by pressing keys on the keypad, as users relying on the MouseKeys feature will not be able to use them.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Provide more than one method to perform keyboard tasks where possible. Some users may find some keys and key combinations easier to use than others.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Provide both keyboard and mouse access to functions where possible. Some users may only be able to use either the mouse or the keyboard, but not both.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Don't assign awkward reaches to frequently performed keyboard operations. Some people may only be able to use one hand on the keyboard, so shortcuts that can be easily used with one hand are preferable for common operations. In any case, having to frequently perform long or difficult reaches on the keyboard can increase muscle strain for all users, increasing the risk of pain or injury.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Don't require repetitive use of simultaneous keypresses. Some users are only able to press and hold one key at a time. Assistive technologies such as AccessX may allow users to press the keys sequentially rather than simultaneously, but this of course means the operation will take longer for them.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Ensure that any text that can be selected with the mouse can also be selected with the keyboard. This is a convenience for all users, but especially for those for whom fine control of the mouse is difficult.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Ensure that objects that can be resized or moved by drag and drop can also be resized or moved with the keyboard. For example, icons and windows on the desktop. Where precision sizing and placement is potentially important, e.g. shapes in a diagram, also consider providing a dialog into which you can type co-ordinates, or a means of snapping objects to a user-definable grid.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Don't use general navigation functions to trigger operations. For example, do not use basic <keycap>Tab</keycap> keyboard navigation in a dialog to activate any actions associated with a control.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Show keyboard-invoked menus, windows and tooltips near the object they relate to. In GNOME 2.0, users can call up popup menus with <keycombo><keycap>Shift</keycap><keycap>F10</keycap></keycombo>, and tooltips with <keycombo><keycap>Shift</keycap><keycap>F1</keycap></keycombo>. Do not completely hide or obscure the object to which the menu or tooltip refers, however.

Don't depend on input from mouse button 2 or button 3. As well as being physically more difficult to click, some pointing devices and many assistive technology devices only support button 1. Some assistive technologies may not emulate the mouse at all, but generate keyboard events instead.
</para>
</listitem>

Provide visual feedback throughout a drag and drop operation. As the mouse passes over valid targets, highlight them and change the mouse pointer. Use the "no drop" mouse pointer when passing over invalid drop targets. See <link linkend="gad-mouse-examples">Mouse Interaction Examples</link>.
</para>

<para>
Don't make mouse targets too small. In general, mouse targets should be at least the size of the "hot area" around the resizable window border in the current window manager/theme - bearing in mind that a user with impaired dexterity or vision may be using a window manager with larger areas than the default.

<para>
Provide descriptive names for all interface components. The GAIL library provides default accessible descriptions for many GTK widgets, but you will still need to add your own in some cases, such as for widgets that use graphics instead of text (e.g. a well in a color palette, or an icon without a label).

Allow multi-color graphical elements (e.g. toolbar icons) to be shown in monochrome only, if possible. These monochrome images should be shown in the system foreground and background colors, which the user will have chosen for themselves (by their choice of GTK theme) for maximum legibility.

Make interactive GUI elements easily identifiable. For example, do not make the user hover the mouse over an object to determine whether it is clickable or not. Leave sufficient space between objects and clearly delineate object boundaries. Don't show GUI elements that look pretty but don't actually do anything, unless you also provide an option to switch them off.

Even to a user with normal vision, textual output provides the majority of the information and feedback in most applications. It is therefore critical to choose and position text carefully on the screen, and leave the choice of font and size to the user, to ensure that people with vision impairments can also use your application effectively.
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Don't hard-code font styles and sizes. The user should be able to adjust all sizes and typefaces. If for some reason you cannot make this functionality available, never hardcode any font sizes smaller than 10 points.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Provide options to turn off any graphical backdrops or "watermarks" behind text. Such images interfere with the contrast between the text and its background, which can cause difficulty for users with visual impairments.

Label objects with names that make sense when taken out of context. Users relying on screen readers or similar assistive technologies will not necessarily be able to immediately understand the relationship between a control and those surrounding it.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Don't use the same label more than once in the same window. If you use the same label in different windows, it will help if it means the same thing in both windows. Also, don't use labels that are spelled differently but sound the same, e.g. "Read" and "Red", as this could be confusing for users relying on screen-readers.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Position labels consistently throughout your application. This normally means immediately below large icons, immediately to the right of small icons, and immediately above or to the left of other controls. See <link linkend="gad-font-examples">Fonts and Text Examples</link>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
When you use static text to label a control, end the label with a colon. For example, <guilabel>Username:</guilabel> to label a text field into which the user should type their username. This helps identify it as a control's label rather than an independent item of text.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
When you use static text to label a control, ensure that the label immediately precedes that control in the Tab order. This will ensure that the mnemonic (underlined character) you assign to the label will move focus to or activate the correct control when pressed.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Provide alternatives to WYSIWYG. Some users may need to print text in a small font but edit in a larger screen font, for example. Possible alternatives include displaying all text in the same font and size (both of which are chosen by the user); a "wrap-to-window" option that allows you to read all the text in a window without scrolling horizontally; a single column view that shows the window's contents in a single column even if they will be printed in multiple columns; and a text-only view, where graphics are shown as placeholders or text descriptions. If the application has panels with child controls, consider allowing the panels to resize along with the parent window.

<title>颜色与对比度</title>      
<para>
Poor choice of colors on the screen can cause problems for users with color blindness (for whom hue is important) or low-vision (for whom brightness/contrast is important). Generally, you should allow the user to customize the colors in any part of your application that conveys important information.
</para>
<para>
Users with visual impairments may require a high level of contrast between the background and text colors. Often a black background and white text is used to prevent the background from "bleeding" over. These settings are critical for users with visual impairments.
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Don't hard-code application colors. Some users need to use particular combinations of colors and levels of contrast to be able to read the screen comfortably. Therefore all the main colors you use in your GNOME application should be taken from the GTK theme, so the user can set the colors for all their applications to something legible just by changing the theme. If for some reason you do need to use colors that are not available in the theme, ensure they are customizable within the application itself.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Don't use color as the only means to distinguish items of information. All such information should be provided by at least one other method, such as shape, position or textual description. See <link linkend="gad-color-examples">Color and Contrast Examples</link>.

This display could cause problems for a red-green color-blind user (color-blindness affects as many as 1 in 7 males in some parts of the world). The lack of contrast between the red text and black background would also make it hard to read for a user with low vision, even with a screen magnifier.

This display reinforces the color-coding with arrows to show the stock price movement, and uses darker shades of green and red on a lighter background to provide higher contrast.

<title>键盘焦点</title>
<para>
Showing the keyboard focus position clearly at all times is important, both for users with vision impairments as well as "power-users" who prefer to use the keyboard rather than the mouse. There should never be any confusion as to which control on the desktop has focus at any given time. You ought to be able to leave your computer with the focus on any widget in your application, then go off and phone your girlfriend or walk the dog until you've forgotten which widget you left it on. When you return, you should be able to tell straight away exactly which widget it was.
</para>
<para>
A visual focus indicator is an audio representation of the cursor position relative to the other objects on the desktop. This allows the user to move among objects interactively as the focus changes. The visual focus must be programmatically exposed to assistive technologies. Note that in most cases, this is handled automatically by the ATK, without requiring you to do any additional work. However, you will need to be aware of this requirement when writing your own custom widgets, for example.
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Start focus at the most commonly used control. If no control in a window is deemed to be the "most" useful, start the focus at the first control in the window when that window is opened. Focus should not be started on the <guilabel>OK</guilabel> or <guilabel>Cancel</guilabel> buttons of a dialog even if they are the most commonly used controls, as they can always be activated immediately by pressing <keycap>Enter</keycap> or <keycap>Escape</keycap>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Show current input focus clearly at all times.  Remember that in controls that include a scrolling element, it is not always sufficient to highlight just the selected element inside that scrolling area, as it may not be visible. See <link linkend="gad-focus-examples">Keyboard Focus Examples</link>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Show input focus only in the active window. Hide all primary visual focus indicators in all windows that do not have the focus and activation. If a single window has separate panes, only one pane should have the focus indicator, and focus indicators should be hidden in all other panes. If it's important to continue showing which item in an unfocused list is selected, for example, use a secondary focus indicator. See <link linkend="gad-focus-examples">Keyboard Focus Examples</link>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Provide appropriate feedback when the user attempts to navigate past the end of a group of related objects. When navigating a list, for example, stopping with audio feedback is usually preferable to moving the focus back to the first object in the list. Otherwise, users who are blind or have low vision may not realize they have returned to the beginning. In the case of a text search in a document, a dialog may pop up to indicate that the end of the document has been reached, and ask if you want to resume the search at the start of the document.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Play the system default audio or visual warning signal when the user presses an inappropriate key, or when a navigation key fails to move the focus. For example, when the focus is on the first character in a text field and the user presses left arrow key, or the user tries to perform multiple selection in a single selection dialog. (Note that users with hearing difficulties should be able to configure a system-wide visual equivalent to the default warning sound.)

Interfaces in which things appear, disappear or happen according to some hard-coded time limit are often a hindrance to accessibility. Some users may read, type or react very slowly in comparison to others.

Don't hard-code timeouts or other time-based features. Examples include automatic scrolling when dragging an object towards the edge of a window, holding down a scrollbar button, or automatically expanding a tree node when an object is dragged over it and held for a short time.

<title>GOK (GNOME Onscreen Keyboard)</title>
<note>
<para>
The information on this page is partially outdated: GNOME 3's <application><ulink url="http://wiki.gnome.org/Caribou">Caribou</ulink></application> has effectively replaced GNOME 2's <application>gok</application>.
</para>
</note>

<para>
Your application should be usable via <application>gok</application>; key input should be generated entirely by <application>gok</application>, not the keyboard. The aim here would be to work with your application and the desktop in general, ensuring any type of character input can be performed with the on-screen keyboard.
</para>
<para>
The <application>gok</application> application ships with the GNOME Desktop so should already be present. For full documentation, refer to <ulink url="http://www.gok.ca">the official gok site</ulink>.
</para>
<para>
Follow these steps to verify the correct operation of <application>gok</application> with your application:
</para>
<procedure>
<step>
<para>
Login into the GNOME desktop
</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>
Run <application>gok</application>
</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>启动你的应用程序</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>
Provide input to your application with a pointing device (e.g., mouse or head-tracker) and <application>gok</application>.
</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>
Work using the auto-completion and word prediction features of <application>gok</application>.
</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>
Verify that <application>gok</application> enables and disables the <guibutton>Menus</guibutton> and <guibutton>Toolbars</guibutton> buttons based on the kind of application invoked; for example, the <guibutton>Menus</guibutton> and <guibutton>Toolbars</guibutton> buttons are disabled for the 'Font properties' capplet, but the same buttons are enabled for the <application>Gedit</application> application.
</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>
Verify that the <application>gok</application> on-screen keyboard provided by the <guibutton>Compose</guibutton> button can be used to type in any text for the selected application; run <application>Gedit</application>, click on the text area, and then click on the <guibutton>Compose</guibutton> button in <application>gok</application>. Select the required keys from the on-screen keyboard. The characters should appear in the <application>Gedit</application> text area.
</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>
Verify that the <guibutton>Launcher</guibutton> button allows the user to launch any of the <application>Terminal</application>, <application>Web Browser</application> or <application>Text Editor</application> applications.
</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>
Verify that the <guibutton>Activate</guibutton> button allows the user to activate any of the currently running application windows on the user's desktop, including GNOME panels and the GNOME desktop.
</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>
Verify that the <guibutton>Menus</guibutton> button lists all the available menus in the current application. Verify that clicking on a menu button displays the sub-menu and menu items contained within the sub-menu. Finally, verify that clicking on a menu item activates the menu item. For example, click on the <application>Help Browser</application> application and click on the <guibutton>Menus</guibutton> button. The <application>GOK</application> window now displays the <guibutton>File</guibutton>, <guibutton>Go</guibutton> and <guibutton>Help</guibutton> buttons (the <application>Help Browser</application> menus). Click on the <guibutton>File</guibutton> button and it displays the <guibutton>New Window</guibutton> and <guibutton>Close Window</guibutton> buttons (menu items).
</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>
Verify that the <guibutton>Toolbars</guibutton> button lists all the available buttons in the application toolbar. For example, click on the <application>Help Browser</application> application and then click on the <guibutton>Toolbars</guibutton> button. The <application>GOK</application> window now displays the <guibutton>Back</guibutton>, <guibutton>Forward</guibutton> and <guibutton>Home</guibutton> buttons.
</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>
Verify that the <guibutton>UI Grab</guibutton> button displays all the button objects for the selected application window. For example, open the 'Font Properties' capplet and click on the <guibutton>UI Grab</guibutton> button in the <application>GOK</application> window. The <application>GOK</application> window should now display the names of the buttons in the capplet - <guibutton>Sans</guibutton>, <guibutton>Sans-serif</guibutton>, <guibutton>Close</guibutton> and <guibutton>Help</guibutton>.

<para>
<application>Accerciser</application> is an interactive Python accessibility explorer for the GNOME Desktop. It uses AT-SPI to inspect and control widgets, allowing you to check if an application is providing correct     information to assistive technologies and automated test frameworks. <application>Accerciser</application> has a simple plugin framework which you can use     to create custom views of accessibility information. Full documentation can be found <ulink url="http://library.gnome.org/devel/accerciser/stable">in the Official Accerciser Manual</ulink>. For a demonstration of <application>Accerciser</application> and <application>PyATSPI</application> (Python-wrappered access and usage of AT-SPI), see <ulink url="http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/PythonPoweredAccessibility">this article</ulink>. For an excellent walkthrough from the author, see the article titled <ulink url="http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9991">Make Your Application Accessible with Accerciser</ulink>.
