Java Swing/Accessibility
Project ID:
55Project Type:
FixedBudget:
$10-$100 USD
Project Description:
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 passed the Sun Certified Java Programmer test, and I have many experience in helping students to do their programming projects. 10 days delivery time is just a placeholder, I can finish the project for u as quickly as you need, and guarantee u to get an A for the project.
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' less

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. less
