Apple provides developers with a Cocoa framework that contains common, reusable application components (such as menus, text fields, buttons, and sliders), so developers don’t have to re-create these elements each time they write a new application.

Apple also provides tools and guidelines to developers who create custom interface elements — or who don’t use the Cocoa framework — so any application can be made compatible with VoiceOver.
