| <h1>Accessibility features in Eclipse</h1> |
| <p> |
| Accessibility features help people with a physical disability, such as |
| restricted mobility or limited vision, or those with special needs to use |
| software products successfully. These are the major accessibility features in |
| Eclipse:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Eclipse uses Microsoft Active |
| Accessibility (MSAA) APIs to render user interface elements accessible to |
| assistive technology.</li> |
| <li>You can operate all features using the keyboard instead of the mouse. See |
| the related task. </li> |
| <li>You can use screen-reader software such as Freedom Scientific's JAWS <sup>TM</sup> |
| and a digital speech synthesizer to hear what is displayed on the |
| screen. You can also use voice recognition software, |
| such as IBM ViaVoice <sup>TM</sup> to enter data and to navigate the user |
| interface.</li> |
| <li>You can magnify what is displayed on your screen in the graphical views. |
| </li> |
| <li>Any fonts or colors defined by Eclipse can be set using the <strong>Window > |
| Preferences </strong>dialog<strong>. </strong>See the related link. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p><strong>Note: </strong>The Accessibility features mentioned in |
| this document apply to the Windows operating system. |
