Accessibility

JDK 1.2 Contents

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.
