Psi's accessibility mostly depends on Qt (the software package that we use
for cross platform compatible user interface). Googling a bit Qt 4.x (which
Psi uses) does support assistive tools on windows via Microsoft's
Accessibility API (MSAA). If you tested with a tool that does support MSAA
we need to further investigate is the is something other that we have to
do.
If the basic communication with the AT works we can think about tweaking
things to be more AT friendly. I guess the chat log control might need a
bit of tweaking for example.
