My university project involves creating ACCESSIBLE Java Swing applications for visually disabled people who require the use of a screenreader, on the Windows platform. \\\'Accessibility&\\\' can be defined as \\\"the successful access to information and use of information technology by people who have disabilities\\\". In this case, blind people who use screenreaders to access a computer. Screenreaders use text-to-speech to read software aloud to people who are blind - I am using the JAWS screenreader for this project. In Java, accessibility in this sense is achieved by using the Java Accessibility API introduced by Sun. This project does not involve creating a program/application from scratch, but altering the source code of an existing application I have found which at the moment is NOT accessible (i.e. people who use screenreaders cannot use it). By \\\'altering the code\\\' I mean implementing the Java Accessibility API on the code, for example just implementing the Accessible interface may solve a problem. The problems I need solving include providing shortcuts for menu items, adding mnemonics, etc. However, I am not all that familiar with Java Swing programming and don\\\'t have the time to learn. If a problem cannot be solved, I just need to know why, as the main purpose of this project is to EVALUATE the Java Accessibility API. The second deliverable I require is a simple program which allows me to record whether a Java Swing component (button, check box, combo box, etc) for a particular application is accessible or not. I need a facility to link this program to a database where the information will be stored, and a way to create and print a report from the information entered into the form. I already have an outline of what I require, it just needs to be implemented. The software you will require is just the Java application which needs to be altered, called jEdit. I will then test it with a screenreader.

I have created several programs using the Java Swing Components but not with the accessibility features. To your first requirement, I can easily place shortcuts (keyboard) to the JButtons, Checbox etc (Java Swing Components). To your second requirement, I think I need more detailed description of what you really want but I am willing to work on this. I am familiar in accessing database using JDBC which maybe useful in storing/retrieving information that you mentioned in your second requirement. Maybe you can write out a specification of what you need and I will see what I can do.

Att: I have 3 years experience using Swing, you certainly know Swing is not same as AWS, so please don\'t bother about the bid from an inexperience programmer like \'Free\'
