Gramps
Gramps aims to provide the best accessibility support. Unfortunatly, all parts of the interface have not been always tested for persons with disabilities. Gramps team try to do its best for a complete accessibility support.

- Gtk label
GtkLabel automaticaly generates accessibility keys on next GtkEntry and UndoableEntry fields. Remember that Gramps also uses custom widgets like StyledTextEditor and ValidatableMaskedEntry, which do not provide relation with a GtkLabel.
- Toggle buttons and Icons on toolbar
Gramps often uses toogle buttons and alone image (no label), this excludes blind people and generates a poor interface for accessibility.
Think on accessibility support for widgets without Gtk label or alone image on a toggle button, by adding:
<property name="AtkObject::accessible-name" translatable="yes" comments="">Name access</property> ... <accessibility> <relation type="labelled-by" target="label209"/> </accessibility>
Into python
Sample
# mark the root of this window with its PID so we can easily identify it # as this app root_atk = atk.get_root() root_atk.set_description(str(os.getpid()))
label_acc = label_widget.get_accessible() entry_acc = entry.get_accessible() label_acc.add_relationship(atk.RelationType.LABEL_FOR, entry_acc) entry_acc.add_relationship(atk.RelationType.LABELLED_BY, label_acc)
