open-in-new
<p>The Java Access Bridge (JAB) exposes accessibility information about <a href="/facts/Java_(programming_language)/9ScgFyAL">Java</a> components to <a href="/facts/Screen_reader/Twune61n">screen readers</a> and other <a href="/facts/Assistive_technology/xYdAXG3y">assistive technologies</a> running on the <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Windows</a> platform. </p><p>Prior to <a href="/facts/Java_Platform%2c_Standard_Edition/1HMPhdsv">Java SE</a> Version 7 Update 6, the Java Access Bridge needed to be installed separately, but is now distributed with the <a href="/facts/Java_Runtime_Environment/l9Nzrsun">Java Runtime Environment</a>. </p>
