Adding accessibility properties to a software application

Abstract:

Techniques are disclosed for automatically adding accessibility properties to an application. One embodiment includes a method for adding accessibility. The method includes, for at least a first interface control provided by a first software application, the first interface control including a set of one or more accessibility properties: determining a control type of a plurality of control types based on one or more attributes of the first interface control, and associating the control type with the set of accessibility properties of the first interface control. The method further includes matching at least a second interface control provided by a second software application to one of the plurality of control types based on one or more attributes of the second interface control, the second interface control not including accessibility properties. The method further includes adding accessibility properties to the second interface control based on accessibility properties of the matched control type.
