Linphone uses GTK+ library as graphical toolkit. GTK+ has support for
screen readers implemented in ATK library. I don't know whether
programmer must link applicatian against ATK explicitely. I tested it
with Firefox _on Linux_ and it worked.

I don't know. Try to ask GTK+ developers. I think the library must
contain some hooks for windows accessibility interface to get Jaws to
work with the application. Again, I don't know current state of Windows
port of GTK+.
