'''Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface''' ('''AT-SPI''') is a [[toolkit]]-neutral way of providing [[accessibility]] facilities in [[application]]s, developed by the [[GNOME]] project. Toolkits provide a logical representation of the content of the application, and helpful assistants like [[screen reader]]s or [[magnifier]]s can then allow disabled persons browse and interact with the applications.

It is currently supported by [[GTK]]+2, [[Java programming language|Java]]/[[Swing (Java)|Swing]], the [[Mozilla]] suite, and [[StarOffice]]/[[OpenOffice.org]]. [[TrollTechTrolltech]] also announced some support by [[Qt toolkit|Qt]] ([[KDE]]'s toolkit library).

It is being considered for adoption by the [[Accessibility Free Software Group]].
