Yes, but they struggle to keep up with the mainstream, especially considering the runaway complexity of the web. The one notable open-source example is Emacspeak [1]. The rest, as far as I know, have been proprietary and often overpriced products.

- tannhaeuser 5y ago> considering the runaway complexity of the web Just want to encourage you to keep pointing to accessibility problems loud and clear. While CSS complexity was mostly driven by ads, ecommerce, and porn, there are people who tried hard to do the right thing on the web (Paciello Group, W3C's WCAG, etc.), thereby also contributing to unwarranted complexity, who could benefit from feedback. And I don't have to tell you, but if you think you're not affected because you're young, sight/focussing problems kick in at about the age of 50.
