Hi,
Navigating within the Google Doc itself is not near as efficient as doing so in
TextEdit or some other Word processor. When you first open a gDoc, focus is
normally put on the editable area. If you just arrow down you will hear a thud
then the text of the specific line that has keyboard focus. You can continue
arrowing down/up to hear whatever is on that line and arrow right/left to go
character by character. If you VO out of that area and take focus elsewhere,
it is often difficult, but not impossible, to get your self back in without
quitting and re-opening the gDoc. I admit that I’m not a user of QuickNav so
have not used it at all when navigating within various Google apps. I normally
just use the tab key, the return key, arrow keys and VO navigation when doing
so in Safari. Myself, I find it easiest to use a combination of Chrome with
ChromeVox and Safari with VO when working with apps in the Google Apps suite.
Regarding the menus, make sure that Screen Reader Support is enabled when you
enter into your gDoc then doing as you’ve mentioned usually works for me. That
is, VO-space to activate the menu, then VO-arrows to navigate through the
options.
HTH.

Hi list,
I have a few doubts about using google docs with VoiceOver.
I managed to read through google's documentation on using google docs
with screen readers and as suggested there, I use it in safari by
enabling and disabling QuickNav to do certain tasks. I am able to
create documents, name them, and copy-paste text into them from
textEdit. The reason behind using TextEdit to write the document is I
am unable to navigate in the document to make changes after typing it
in google docs. How do I do this? That is, How do I navigate to a
particular line or a word after typing it and edit it? How do I add
specific comments by selecting text in the document? As of now, I am
using the Docs app on iOS to select text and add comments. How ever, I
would be more comfortable to do this on my computer keyboard (if there
is a possibility).
I am unable to access the options in the menus. I just hear the sound
VO makes when a PopUp box is activated and the first few options in
the menu when I press down aero(QuickNav turned on) or VO+Down Aero
(QuickNav off) after activating the menu. How do I do this?
Specifically, I would want to export the document and share it with
others in most cases.
Any help or suggestions would be of great value.
Thank you.
