Microsoft launches accessibility portal for developers
MCP Magazine | at | by Mike
Microsoft unveiled a new Web site yesterday that provides resources for developers to improve and test the accessibility of their applications. The idea is to make it easier for those with visual and hearing impairments to use software.
The new MSDN site, called Microsoft Accessibility Labs, has links to technologies, tools and blogs associated with improving accessibility.
One of the new accessibility tools on the site is AccChecker, which helps check the accuracy of user interfaces that support Microsoft Active Accessibility, a technology for applications that run on Windows.
