Open Source Assistive Technology

Created by Stuart Yeates (University of Oxford) on February 27, 2006

The Open source Assistive Technology Software (OATS) website is a searchable index of assistive technology enabled open source software. They're just a new site, but they list all sorts of things from addins with Microsoft Windows full open source web browsers.

They have a developer section, but I can't help but feel that they're missing something. Most of the recent assistive technology gains have been bought about by everyday projects and programmers using toolkits enabled for i18n and assistive technology, but there is scarce a mention of the importance of these, and not a single mention anywhere that I can find of the various testing suites which enable even the most dim-witted of us web developers and programmers to check we're doing things right.

But, as they say, they're still in beta.
