Accessibility features

Accessibility features help users who have a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use information technology products successfully.

The accessibility features mentioned here apply to the Windows operating system. Some of these features also work on Linux, but are not officially supported at this time.

The topics in this section cover the major accessibility features in the workbench. These accessibility features support the following things:

• Keyboard-only operation

• Interfaces that are commonly used by screen readers

Tip: The Rational product infocenter and its related publications are accessibility-enabled for the IBM Home Page Reader. You can operate all features by using the keyboard instead of the mouse.
