Gary Cramblitt Accessibility KDEAP (the &kde; Accessibility Project) aims to ensure that &kde;, as a desktop environment, is accessible to all users, including those of us with physical disabilities. In addition to the accessibility aids in the Control Center, &kde; has several other accessibility tools, which are available in the &kde;-Accessibility package. This package may not be installed on your computer; if it is not, you can download it from here: tdeaccessibility-1.0.0.tar.gz, or tdeaccessibility-1.0.0.tar.bz2 MD5 lsm file For more information on the project, visit the &kde; Accessibility Home Page.
