Re: Trying out ATK / AT-SPI

Jacob,

It sounds like you want to write what we would an Assisteive Technology program; other examples are gok, gnopernicus and dasher.

AT-SPI is the interface you want to write to not ATK, which is used in the application program you hope to control. If you download the latest at-spi source tarball you should get its documentation.
