Accessibility Tools and Technologies
At Igalia, we believe that access to software and information is not a privilege, but a right. For this reason, we are committed to making this access possible for individuals of all ages and abilities, from all walks of life, all over the world. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has a compelling and complete range of Free Software solutions which address their unique needs and wants.
Our commitment to accessibility began in 2007 with the accessibility library for Hildon, a UI library for the Maemo platform. Since then, our efforts have expanded to the free desktop where we develop and maintain accessibility solutions at all levels of the stack including:
- ATK - Accessibility interfaces implemented by GNOME toolkits and applications
- Cally - Clutter accessibility support
- WebKitGTK Accessibility - The GTK+ port of WebKit
- GNOME Shell Accessibility - The defining experience of the GNOME 3 user experience
- Unity Accessibility - The defining technology of the Ubuntu user experience
- Orca - The screen reader of the GNOME Desktop
We devote significant time participating in the communities in which we work, engaging end users as partners in the development process and collaborating with other teams to achieve the most consistent and compelling user interaction possible.
Our developers have a combined 20 years of experience in accessibility, with diverse backgrounds ranging from Computer Science to Special Education. Having an interdisciplinary team with expertise in all aspects of accessibility implementations makes it possible to deliver a truly integrated solution.
