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

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

It is being considered for adoption by the Free Standards Group.[1]
