[NFBCS] Creating Accessible GUI apps in Python

[Ryan Mann]

When I tried it, I used Notepad.  I am now learning how to use VS Code and it seems like once Toga is installed, you can open a Python file in BS code and start typing the code for the interface.  I could try it in VS Code to confirm this.

Hi Ryan –

 

Have you used Toga with VS Code? Looks like this might be what I need to  do accessible GUI in Python. I would like to talk with you or someone  who can help me get started  with the installation. 

 

Thanks for the recommendation!

 

Steve

Check out Toga. The web site is beeware.org.

All –

 

Is anyone developing accessible GUI Python apps? The tkinter library GUI interface included with Python doesn’t generate screen reader accessible GUI.

 

If anyone has tried any alternative libraries that have worked with JAWS, would you share what you are using?

 

Regards,

 

Steve
