As described in our earlier article outlining ARIA support in GWT1.5, widgets now include basic support for W3C ARIA, an emerging set of Web standards that enable AJAX applications to work smoothly with screenreaders. But there is more to using an application than interacting with individual user interface widgets — overall usability is determined by the complete user experience.

We have improved the usability of Google Health for screenreader users by enhancing the built-in support available in GWT 1.5 via JavaScript. The resulting user experience enables users of screenreaders and self-voicing browsers to easily navigate the interface to obtain relevant auditory feedback.

Pour les personnes intéressées par la problématique d'accessibilité dans une application GWT, Google vient d’annoncer l’ajout de cette fonctionnalité dans Google Health. Pour rappel, Google Health est une application de gestion de dossiers médicaux états-uniens développée avec GWT.
