Reconsider, but hopefully this will encourage the developers to address accessibility. I think it is important that automation is considered in the same category as accessibility. Automation could lead to great strides in accessibility.
- mwcampbell 9y agoCan you expand on what you mean by automation? Do you mean something like the Windows UI Automation API, which is an accessibility API that doubles as a way to automatically test UIs? Or do you mean something more like COM Automation or AppleScript?
- daveguy 9y agoAll of the above. I believe automation apis such as windows UI automation, COM or applescript all contain valuable information for accessibility (some more than others). Whether that is simply all the text displayed on the screen (not that getting that done is simple) or conversion of a complex series of mouse clicks into a simple operation. I think system automation apis are comparable to accessibility apis. As one improves so should the other. Would be interested in discussing further.
