[1] (Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface) is a toolkit-neutral way of providing accessibility facilities in application, developped by the gnome project. Toolkits provide a logical representation of the content of the application, and assistive assistants like screen readers or magnifiers can then let disabled people browse and interact with applications.

It is currently being considered for adoption by the Free Software Group.

It is currently supported by GTK+2, Java/Swing, the Mozilla suite, and StarOffice/OpenOffice. TrollTech also announced some support by Qt (KDE's toolkit library).
