==Support==

AT-SPI provides an ATK bridge, so all those widgets systems or applications that implement ATK will automatically communicate all its events, to AT-SPI. The GNOME widget system, [[GTK+]], or [[Mozilla]] applications like [[Firefox]] and [[Mozilla Thunderbird|Thunderbird]] for GNU/Linux implement ATK, so they communicate out-of-box with AT-SPI. However, it is completely possible to use AT-SPI without implementing ATK. The D-Bus migration made possible that [[Qt (software)|Qt]] added ATIAT-SPI support. Qt implemented its own bridge to AT-SPI that was released in alpha status in August 2011 for testing purposes<ref>{{cite web|title=Accessibility on Linux|url=http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2011/08/23/accessibility-on-linux/|accessdate=2014-04-10}}</ref> and it was integrated into Qt for general use a year later.<ref>{{cite web|title=Qt accesibility APIs|url=http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2012/06/18/qt-5-accessibility-apis/|accessdate=2014-04-10}}</ref>
