Google Docs better with Chrome or Safari?

[minh Tam ha]

Hello all,

My new job works exclusively on Google Workspace and I'm trying to keep
work tasks confined to Google Chrome on the Mac. However, Docs does not
seem to be behaving very well, particularly when connected to a Braille
display (I recognize that Braille support is pretty atrocious for Google
Docs anyway.) I've also tried Google Docs with Safari and the experience is
slightly more tolerable, but still not fantastic. Do you have any
preference/tips on which browser to use? for a less frustrating experience?

Thanks,
Minh

Re: Google docs

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

Is it a table within the Google Doc?   If yes, then do not use VO navigation 
while in the document.  First you’ll need to make sure that Screen Reader 
Access is enabled for your Google Docs etc.  Google provides a good set of 
instructions at the following link:

https://support.google.com/docs/answer/6282736?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop=en
 
<https://support.google.com/docs/answer/6282736?co=GENIE.Platform=Desktop=en>

Re: google docs

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

Use arrow keys without VO keys. So, arrow down to the line with the link, then 
arrow right or option-right to go by word. Once on the link, press 
option-return to activate the link. 

 Later...

google docs

[Lorie McCloud]

I'm trying to click a link in a google doc on my Mac in order to register for 
something. so far I haven't been able to do it. it doesn't show up if I press 
vo-command-l. vo reads it but. it's as though it's in a block of text. I 
thought I'd enabled accessibility too. has anybody ever done this?

thanks.

Re: VoiceOver and Google Docs

[Brett Lewis]

Hi,
I have found docs to mostly be unusable on the Mac.
A couple of things which seem to make it better.
First I use chrome rather than safari.
Second, you can go to tools/accessibility options when in a Google doc and
uncheck the braille mode checkbox.  Braille mode is pretty good on Windows
but doesn't work well for me on the Mac.
Hopefully that will help a bit, but for me I had to get a windows machine
to really work with Google Docs.
Brett

VoiceOver and Google Docs

I am struggling with Google Docs. When I type, VoiceOver will announce the
letters I am typing but when I hit space, it does not read the word. I do
not have the same experience when I use my PC. Is there something set
incorrectly? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Re: Using VO on MacAir in Google Docs and classroom

[Anders Holmberg]

Hi!
I am using Google docs and google classroom.
In my opinion it needs to be fixed because there are some accessibility flaws 
that can be quite frustrating.
But if you want to edit a google document you have to open the documents app on 
your iphone and press the edit button.
In classroom its impossible but you can choose to open in another app and then 
edit.
For example:
I can click on a document in google classroom and select the open in another 
app and from there open it in the google docs app.
Its tricky but it can be done with some patience.

Re: Using VO on MacAir in Google Docs and classroom

[jean parker]

All:

Mystic Access has a tutorial on using G suite with screen readers including 
voiceover. I have purchasedit  but have not gone through it yet. It does appear 
to be quite useful. The tech support in the accessibility section of google are 
not trained and although they are well intended, were ultimately not helpful.

Re: Using VO on MacAir in Google Docs and classroom

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

A couple of things.  Google makes it difficult to use their web apps due to the 
ever changing nature of their coding of the apps.  Basic accessibility is 
always present, but the more interactive nature of these apps is not always 
quite so friendly.  I would first make sure that you always ensure that 
Accessible mode is enabled.  Second, actually working within the editable area 
is often a challenge.  I suggest that when using VO, just use arrow navigation, 
no VO keys.  If focus is in the editable area, when you arrow down or up, 
you'll be navigating line by line.  Right/left goes character by character.  
Add the Option key to the right/left action and you can go word by word.  There 
is also a link, or button, that reads something about "Editing" that when 
pressed, often makes sure that focus for the cursor is in the editable area.  
The other thing that I find useful is to use a combination of tools.  ChromeVox 
in Chrome often allows you to get at editable items more easily as well as many 
of the menu actions.  Using a combination of ChromeVox, Chrome, VO and Safari 
often gives you the most success.

Later...

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for your interest. Yes, you may contact me at my work email, 
fredn...@tcoe.org.  I’m unavailable today but but should be able to discuss 
this tomorrow afternoon some time.   You can also explain how this group works. 
Sounds like some that help request compensation? 

Thank you!

Using VO on MacAir in Google Docs and classroom

[frednavd55]

Hello, 

I am a teacher of the visually impaired and working with a freshman 
highschooler who has a MacBook provided by her school. Her teachers are using 
Google classroom. She uses voiceover on her phone and is very competent. 

As her TVI I am trying to help her learn voiceover on the laptop. We are 
looking for any advice and information regarding using voice over and google 
classroom in Google docs. Using the rotar  has been quite helpful. We have been 
able to navigate to open up a new document, but cannot figure out how to get 
inside the document to begin typing. Any help with learning to navigate and 
work within  Google Docs and Google classroom is much appreciated!!

Re: Frustrating google docs problem.

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

Normally, I can read Google Docs by opening them in Safari or Chrome, usually 
Safari, then just using arrow key navigation.  That is, no VO keys.  Just arrow 
down to read line by line, arrow right for letter by letter, option right/left 
for word by word.  If you start arrowing too quickly before the page has 
completely loaded, press cmd-r to reload the page, wait for the sound that 
indicates that the page has loaded then arrow.  If that doesn't work, you may 
need to press the Turn on More Accessible Mode button thing.

HTH.

Best.

Frustrating google docs problem.

[Anders Holmberg]

Hi!
I am taking a distance bible course and they’re using google classroom for a 
reason i don’t know.
Well i just stumbled upon a very frustrating accessibility issue.
I can’t read the google documents neither on mac or windows.
BUt i can with my Android phone.
But since braille is so poor on android i would have prefered to read it on my 
mac.
I haven’t tried with my Ipad mini 4 yet or my iphone se.
BUt its very frustrating and i wonder if there’s a sollution to this problem.
Is there any app that can read the google document for me on mac or maybe 
windows?
Sorry if this is somewhat off topic.
/A

Re: google docs

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

Yes, Google Chrome and ChromeVox is specifically designed for the Google 
ecosystem, so is able to navigate Google Docs and other Google apps better.  
There is a learning curve though for ChromeVox as it is not the same as VO, nor 
those Windows screen readers.  So, you get to learn another language :).

If you prefer to use Safari and VO, try pressing cmd-r to Reload the page and 
you can usually read the document again by arrowing through it.

One caution I have to add here with respect to Google Docs being sent to you 
via eMail.  I suggest that you do either or both of the following when opening 
Google Docs that are shared or eMailed to you.  First, is to make sure that 
your browser is open and to be logged in before opening the linked Google Doc.  
There is a huge number of phishing expedition eMails out there that send you 
Google Docs in this manner.  They appear to be from someone you know but 
usually are just a really well planned scam.  Once you go to open the linked 
Google document, it asks you to login to your gMail.  When you do, they've got 
your gMail ID and password and within seconds are making changes to and 
scanning your gMail and documents for usable info.  If you know that you're 
already logged in and it asks you to log in upon opening this Google Doc, then 
you know it's phishing and to stop right there and delete the eMail and do not 
enter any credentials.  The second method is to enable Two Step or Two Factor 
authentication which protects you even if you accidentally enter credentials by 
sending you a text verification whenever someone attempts to log in on a device 
not normally associated with you.

OK, I'll jump off my soap-box now and close down this long-winded answer to 
your question :).

Later...

ChromeVox Next will be default in M56 of Chrome OS (ChromeBooks), which is
targetted for January 2017.
Chrome browser will *NOT* support ChromeVox Next, as there should be
sufficient support by native platform screen readers (e.g. Mac VoiceOver,
Windows NVDA).

Hi Mary,

Yeah it’s crazy so far all I’ve been able to confirm is AD and sub titles are 
the only things in the accessibilities menu under settings,

Yeah from the home screan of the Samsung tv try holding down the mute key and 
see what happens, you may have to hold it down for a few seconds to get the 
menu to pop up.

I can’t see why it would be not available here so Have to wait till Samsung nz 
are back at work after break.

Have a great new years simon

Hi Simon,
Well, I don't know about any shortcuts, and I can not imagine that Samsung made 
something just for the US. But here, without any shortcut is what you do. Go to 
menu, then system, then accessibility. When you open accessibility, voice Guide 
is the first thing in the list. It's a toggle to be turned on or off. I know 
that's not just for this TV but for any of the Samsung smart TVs made with in 
the last couple of years. I can't imagine Samsung made TVs just for the United 
States with this feature built-in. So I'm not sure what's happening for you. 
And maybe you will like the Sony. I'm just OK with a Samsung because of the 
cost because I'd rather put my money, what little of it there is, into audio if 
I can get by with a cheaper TV.

I’ve checked out the latest Samsung tvs of 2016 from the 32” up to the 75” 
curved screan and none of them give the voice guidance  accessibility features,

All have the AD and sub title features but nothing had the tts screan reading

AD was disabled at the point we were looking

So either the TTS feature doesn’t show up with the accessibility short cut 
option of using the Mute button held down till the menu shows or it’s just not 
there on NZ models of the tv’s

Athanks for the model number But again I’m going back to look at the Sony

Hi Simon,
The Samsung TV I have is model number un32j5500af
They have a few I think with similar model numbers. This is a 32 inch model. 
They have larger ones. This one may have been exclusive to Best Buy. But if it 
is, there is another one with a very similar number. It's a smart TV. And you 
have to go into the menus and turn on the voice guidance. If your sales guy 
can't figure that out, I can find out exactly what steps to take to do that. 
Someone did kind of a rambling podcast on this TV earlier this year. Not 
everything talks, such as once you get into the hub. But if what you want is to 
use the TV and switch hdmi ports etc. and know what channel you're on and what 
program is on that channel if it's over the air, it works just fine. And there 
is some kind of guide that also seems to work fine, although I don't use it 
much. I accidentally went into it once, and it started telling me what programs 
were on the channel I was watching over the air. So, while it may not be as 
smooth as the other TV that was being discussed, the price was right and it 
does what I need it to do in an accessible way.

Hi Simon, all I can say is I hope you check out Samsung TVs before you decide 
to buy a Sony. I say that because in my experience, the Samsung I just

android list. They both have excess ability. I paid $219 US for a Samsung TV 32 
inches with excess ability. There is an android Sony TV probably the one you

point. Sure, you may have to get a little bit of cited help start out with the

a really awesome pair of headphones, which I did. And I think I'll be ahead.

Hi Tim,

Crazy yes however the organisation I work for seem to develop or purchase 
products that are not optimised for IE infact we use an oracle system that 
keeps telling us that IE is not a supported browser and please update to a 
later version,
Crazy how IE 11 isn’t up to date.

And more to the point edge works worse than IE does.

It's kind of annoying that so many developers, especially web-site developers,

thinking that this practice is possibly waning with the increased use of the 
Mac and the growth of Chrome as well.

Hi,

When using Google Docs with screen readers on the Windows side, are you using 
IE or a different browser.  As far as I recall, IE and Google didn't play well 
together at all.  Of course, this may have changed since I've not bothered 
keeping up with much to that subject in the Windows world.  I only touch 
Windows about once a month or so to work within the Active Directory or to

Hi Simon,
The Samsung TV I have is model number un32j5500af
They have a few I think with similar model numbers. This is a 32 inch model. 
They have larger ones. This one may have been exclusive to Best Buy. But if it 
is, there is another one with a very similar number. It's a smart TV. And you 
have to go into the menus and turn on the voice guidance. If your sales guy 
can't figure that out, I can find out exactly what steps to take to do that. 
Someone did kind of a rambling podcast on this TV earlier this year. Not 
everything talks, such as once you get into the hub. But if what you want is to 
use the TV and switch hdmi ports etc. and know what channel you're on and what 
program is on that channel if it's over the air, it works just fine. And there 
is some kind of guide that also seems to work fine, although I don't use it 
much. I accidentally went into it once, and it started telling me what programs 
were on the channel I was watching over the air. So, while it may not be as 
smooth as the other TV that was being discussed, the price was right and it 
does what I need it to do in an accessible way.

What is the Samsung tv model you  have with the accessibility features?

I asked the sale guy  about accessibility in the samsungs but he couldn’t find 
anything in the models they had in store,

 I’m not really a sony fan so if I could stay with Smsung  then I’d prefer to.

The fact the android OS was fully accessible  was the reason I was starting to 
look at that more than anything else.

Hi Simon, all I can say is I hope you check out Samsung TVs before you decide 
to buy a Sony. I say that because in my experience, the Samsung I just 
purchased was a lot cheaper than a Sony I have recently Seen discussed on an 
android list. They both have excess ability. I paid $219 US for a Samsung TV 32 
inches with excess ability. There is an android Sony TV probably the one you 
have been talking about, which is twice that if not more. But I don't see any 
point. Sure, you may have to get a little bit of cited help start out with the 
Samsung TV. But I am just not convinced that the android thing is worth it on 
the TV. I could take the money I saved I'm not buying that Sony and spend it on 
a really awesome pair of headphones, which I did. And I think I'll be ahead. 
But to each their own.

Hi Tim,

I can honestly say that IE doesn’t work nicely with most things.

Using widnows and IE everyday it really worries me that MS can’t put together a 
decent browser or is it developers can’t develop decent web applications

Gotta wonder.

Hi,

When using Google Docs with screen readers on the Windows side, are you using 
IE or a different browser.  As far as I recall, IE and Google didn't play well 
together at all.  Of course, this may have changed since I've not bothered 
keeping up with much to that subject in the Windows world.  I only touch 
Windows about once a month or so to work within the Active Directory or to 
assist someone else, so I'm certainly not much in the loop.

Sometimes it spoke each character twice.  It was unusable.

I tried VoiceOver in Chrome with the same results.  Finally had to use

There is no cost. And I can't talk about how good it is or isn't.
Frankly, I resented chrome box from the beginning. Because I thought the
Google should play along with the screen readers and not expect people
to learn a specific Screenwitter just so they can access their stuff. I
mean after all, we have lots of standards. Why did google have to do
something weird and different? HTML is HTML. But not if your Google. So
I have a bias against chrome box. But I can't speak to how good it is or
is not. I think Google should've played with the standards that existed
already in HTML and not expected blind people to learn a whole different
system just because they can..

Hi Mary,

Thanks for that,

That’s not an NZ model number but I’m sure they can figure it out.

But yes reading some documentation on samsungs site there is seemingly a 
shortcut key within a accessibility system by holding down mute or volume I’m 
yet to figure that out for sure.

Thanks.

I’ll let you know how I get on.

Hi Simon,

They have a few I think with similar model numbers. This is a 32 inch model. 
They have larger ones. This one may have been exclusive to Best Buy. But if it

Someone did kind of a rambling podcast on this TV earlier this year. Not

Re: Using Google docs, etc., on mac with voiceover

[Matthew Dyer]

Hi,


I had a play with chrome vox on my mac here and it works well here.  I 
tested it with gmail and it works ok.  I wish there was a way to arrow 
the the list of message rather than pressing chromevox n then f for next 
form field to jump to each message checkbox.  other than that it works 
and I have chrome set as my default web browser.

Hi,
For what it is worth, Docs works fine with JAWS 17/18, Window-eyes 9.5

When I was playing with docs on the mac, I couldn't get VoiceOver to 
work at all.  Arrowing through the document said "beginning of text" 
or "end of text."  Sometimes it spoke each character twice. It was 
unusable.


I tried VoiceOver in Chrome with the same results.  Finally had to use 
ChromeVox in Chrome to work with Docs on the mac.

Hi Mary,



I can’t say I’mm really a fan boy of Google for most of their products,

I’ve never really been a fan of Sony but the new Sony Android tvs I’m

Talkback allowed us to work through menus and channels / input sources

have in these tv’s given us the sightless more of an ability to control
the tv without sighted assistance.



As for google docks and chrome vox,



  This is surely just a start for Google and with time they will make
the g suite usable with voiceover or even jaws / widnow eyes.

Re: Using Google docs, etc., on mac with voiceover

[Mary Otten]

Hi Simon, 
The Samsung TV I have is model number un32j5500af
They have a few I think with similar model numbers. This is a 32 inch model. 
They have larger ones. This one may have been exclusive to Best Buy. But if it 
is, there is another one with a very similar number. It's a smart TV. And you 
have to go into the menus and turn on the voice guidance. If your sales guy 
can't figure that out, I can find out exactly what steps to take to do that. 
Someone did kind of a rambling podcast on this TV earlier this year. Not 
everything talks, such as once you get into the hub. But if what you want is to 
use the TV and switch hdmi ports etc. and know what channel you're on and what 
program is on that channel if it's over the air, it works just fine. And there 
is some kind of guide that also seems to work fine, although I don't use it 
much. I accidentally went into it once, and it started telling me what programs 
were on the channel I was watching over the air. So, while it may not be as 
smooth as the other TV that was being discussed, the price was right and it 
does what I need it to do in an accessible way.

Hi Tim,
Freedom Scientific recommends IE, (I try and stay as far from IE as I 
can) most of my usage is with Firefox and Window-eyes or NVDA.  However 
I have used them with Chrome as well.

Hi,

When using Google Docs with screen readers on the Windows side, are you
using IE or a different browser.  As far as I recall, IE and Google
didn't play well together at all.  Of course, this may have changed
since I've not bothered keeping up with much to that subject in the
Windows world.  I only touch Windows about once a month or so to work
within the Active Directory or to assist someone else, so I'm certainly
not much in the loop.

Re: Using Google docs, etc., on mac with voiceover

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

We use the gSuite as part of my work and I've found it beneficial to use a 
combination of ChromeVox and VO when dealing with Google Docs, Sheets etc.  The 
biggest limitation with ChromeVox is that it is only useful within the browser 
itself.  Therefore, any MacOS menu items and/or other MacOS needs are not 
available to ChromeVox.  Using VO alone in either Chrome or Safari also has 
it's limitations as VO doesn't seem to access some of the menus within the 
Google Docs as well as CV does.  It's probably just me, but I often find it 
easier to access the edit area of a Google Doc with VO as opposed to CV.  There 
may be some improvements or commands in CV that I'm not aware of that would 
make it easier for me to navigate if I took the plunge and worked really hard 
at it, but I still find it best to go with the two screenreader solution when 
dealing with Google Docs and other apps in the suite.

Re: Using Google docs, etc., on mac with voiceover

[Kat DeNicola]

I feel the same, but unfortunately I can’t take that stance when it comes to 
training clients whose work site uses it, both mac and PC versions.

It also bugs me that google doesn’t have an accessibility branch of their tech 
support like Apple and even Microsoft do. I called once and the woman didn’t 
even know what Talkback was.

RE: Using Google docs, etc., on mac with voiceover

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Mary,

Our sales people for these things no less than I do which is why I have fun 
with their computers,

   On the funny side I set one of their mac book pro machines to a greak 
keyboard and Spanish display languages  it appears they reset it back to 
factory defaults.

Anyway

What is the Samsung tv model you  have with the accessibility features?

I asked the sale guy  about accessibility in the samsungs but he couldn’t find 
anything in the models they had in store,

 I’m not really a sony fan so if I could stay with Smsung  then I’d prefer to.

The fact the android OS was fully accessible  was the reason I was starting to 
look at that more than anything else.

Hi Simon, all I can say is I hope you check out Samsung TVs before you decide 
to buy a Sony. I say that because in my experience, the Samsung I just 
purchased was a lot cheaper than a Sony I have recently Seen discussed on an 
android list. They both have excess ability. I paid $219 US for a Samsung TV 32 
inches with excess ability. There is an android Sony TV probably the one you 
have been talking about, which is twice that if not more. But I don't see any 
point. Sure, you may have to get a little bit of cited help start out with the 
Samsung TV. But I am just not convinced that the android thing is worth it on 
the TV. I could take the money I saved I'm not buying that Sony and spend it on 
a really awesome pair of headphones, which I did. And I think I'll be ahead. 
But to each their own.

I agree with Mary completely, here.  Google seems to think it's fine to ignore 
standard conventions, and make blind users learn their system.  I don't 
consider that acceptable.  While it's true that different OSes have different 
key commands, Google refuses to utilize the existing structure of the OS, 
making users learn a whole new set of commands to accommodate them.  For as 
long as I have the choice to do so, I will refuse to use Google for that reason 
alone.  I realize that they don't care about my small protest, but I will do it 
anyway, and will continue to mark them down for accessibility.

So how good is chrome vox?

And is there a cost to get access to it?

It provides a lot better experience with G Suite.

I have used the question mark in Google Mail and Google Groups. So at least in 
some cases this will work for Google products too.

Best wishes,

Hi,
So if I am editing in a doc for example, wouldn't a question mark put in 
a question mark?
On my Chrome book and Windows machines it is control-slash, but it says 
it is different on the mac.

My 2009 mac mini is too slow to do anything with.

question about Google Docs and iOS 9.3.4

[Jenine Stanley]

I updated my work phone, a 5S to iOS 9.3.4. 

I receved a document via email attachment and wanted to put it over in Google 
docs. This option no longer appears on my share sheets, either from email, 
DropBox or anywhere else. I can open google Docs and see the files I already 
have but can’t seem to transfer anything. 

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, were you able to fix it?

Re: Collaborating on Google Docs with an iPad and the docs app or on the Mac

[Tim Kilburn]

hi,

Docs is actually just a web-based word processor.  I'd agree that it's probably 
easiest for you to use on your iPad.  It's actually quite accessible, although 
you may need to use arrow keys while in the text area of the shared document 
instead of VO navigation.  Haven't been in a collaboration session for a bit, 
so can't recall if you need to do anything special to refresh the content when 
on an iPad.  On the web, it tends to do it automatically, which can sometimes 
mess you up when in the document.  Overall, I would guess that it's not that 
difficult to learn as it is quite straight forward on the iOS version.

Collaborating on Google Docs with an iPad and the docs app or on the Mac

I have the need to collaborate with people on a Google doc, which is apparently 
a database sort of thing, where we have to make phone calls and notes. I would 
like to use my iPad and the docs app, as that would seem to be the simplest 
way. I have a keyboard for my iPad. I could also use a Mac which I have, or an

Re: Pages or google docs?

[Kevin Shaw]

Pages is very accessible. I’ve mentioned this before, but I’ve done complex 
documents in Pages with tables, table of contents, headings and the like before 
with few issues. Track changes works better for VO users as a modal dialog pops 
up with the suggested change which you can accept or ignore.

Google Docs is somewhat accessible if you’re contributing to a document and are 
just focused on writing and correcting. VO-L doesn’t read the current line, so 
there is up and down arrowing you must do to read what you’ve written. You can 
read comments and changes made by others. As for formatting and making things 
presentable, I stick to Pages. I’ve only ever used Google Docs in Chrome on the 
web.

Re: Pages or google docs?

[venky . 92]

Hi,
I i'm often in scenarios where I have to collaborate with others on documents. 
Until recently, I did this the old way(sending attachments to emails). I've 
tried using Google Docs with voice-over and Safari and chrome
I feel, using Google Docs with chromeVox the best option. Since not many people 
in my university use Os X I have never tried collaborating on documents with 
pages
Hope this helps
Thank U

Re: Using google docs with voiceover

[Tim Kilburn]

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.

Google docs mobile claims better accessibility

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

While I don't use them, Google did give a mention to improved 
accessibility for VO users on iOS in their announcements.


http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2015/01/updated-mobile-apps.html

From the article:

Making everything more accessible
If you’re blind or have low vision, we have improved support and 
performance for TalkBack on Android and VoiceOver on iOS to create, 
edit, and share files in Docs, Sheets and Slides. The updated apps also 
respond well to screen magnification, in case you need to zoom in for a 
closer look.

Last I heard Google favors using their own Chrome browser with ChromeVox

Re: Google docs mobile claims better accessibility

[Edward Green]

Hi matt,

You can just about use VO and Safari to compose and read Google Docs.  There 
are some fairly annoying issues (at least on my system), E.G. when you navigate 
by whatever textual unit, you get the sound you get when you try to navigate 
passed the top or bottom of a web page.  By default, you’ll also have each 
character spoken regardless of your key echo setting. You can bizarrely stop 
this by turning on braille support in Google Docs, you don’t need to have a 
braille display.

Generally speaking, for whichever Google App you want to use with Safari, you 
should turn off quick nav, disregard most of the quick keys you’re used to 
using to navigate HTML documents in Safari and use Google shortcuts.  This also 
applies under Windows if you ever use that environment.

Cheers,

Ed

 Hi matt,
 
 You can just about use VO and Safari to compose and read Google Docs.  There 
 are some fairly annoying issues (at least on my system), E.G. when you 
 navigate by whatever textual unit, you get the sound you get when you try to 
 navigate passed the top or bottom of a web page.  By default, you’ll also 
 have each character spoken regardless of your key echo setting. You can 
 bizarrely stop this by turning on braille support in Google Docs, you don’t 
 need to have a braille display.
 
 Generally speaking, for whichever Google App you want to use with Safari, you 
 should turn off quick nav, disregard most of the quick keys you’re used to 
 using to navigate HTML documents in Safari and use Google shortcuts.  This 
 also applies under Windows if you ever use that environment.

RE: Google docs mobile claims better accessibility

[Edward Green]

Hi Matt,

 

The other thing to point out (and apologies if you or your student know this 
already) is that you can’t actually get to Google Docs directly by expanding 
the Apps link on the Google web page.  You have to go into Google Drive first, 
and either open an existing document or click on the New button, which opens a 
menu where you can choose to start a new Google Docs document.

 

Cheers,

 

Ed

Re: google docs

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

When accessing Google Docs, a couple of things may help.  The best way to 
access Google Docs is with Chrome and ChromeVox.  But, if you’re not 
comfortable using that package, Safari will work with a bit of different 
navigation than you may be used to.  In Safari, when you first open the Doc, 
wait a few seconds for the Doc to load, then just use your arrow keys, with no 
VO keys.  Arrowing up/down will read line by line and left/right will read 
character by character.  It also tends to move the cursor along with you and 
thus you can enter info as you go.  Also, when not within the text area, using 
the tab key to move between elements works quite nice and simply press return 
to activate a link, or spacebar to activate a button.

On an organizational note, she is correct that the Google Doc allows for better 
on-going collaboration but I find that Google Forms work much nicer for survey 
kinds of things.  You can leave the results viewable to the persons submitting 
responses so that they are able to look at theirs and others submissions.  Note 
that I said viewable, not editable, so your data remains accurate.

Later...

Re: Editing google docs. Any success?

Hi,

Thank you for this.  I’m having some success but, its very inconsistent.  
Sometimes I can find the edit field with the text, other times I can’t.  Some 
times I can edit the text, and sometimes I can’t.  lol.  You would think 
Google’s never heard of accessibility before the way there various sites work 
with screen readers.

Re: Editing Google Docs

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

Yes, Chrome seems to work best within Google Apps.  If you have an iPhone or 
iPad, the Google Drive app works very well and is sometimes easier to work with 
than from within a browser.

 What is the best way to edit Google Docs on the Mac? Is it Chrome?

Google Plus and Google Docs

[Brian Fischler]

Hey all,

I know Google docs have been discussed on this list and I could have
sworn I saw a bunch of mentions on Google Plus, but I couldn't find
what I was looking for in the macvisionaries groups directory, so
pardon me for posting this.

I have to use Google docs and plus for a new work assignment and am
still finding them terribly inaccessible. Has anyone found a good way
to use either of them, and if so has anyone done a podcast on it or
put together any documentation.

Regarding Google Plus I just took a look at it, and it was like
reading Greek. I tried plus one a few things, but couldn't even find
where what I had plus one on my google plus page appeared. Is editing
your profile and adding people accessible either on the mac or iPhone?
I played around with both but really didn't have any clue what I was
doing, so if it is accessible, please point me in any direction where
I can learn how to use google plus.

Regarding Google docs, I tried accessing them on the mac Iphone, Googe
Drive, and couldn't edit the spread sheet that I need to. Has anyone
figured out how to? It still blows me away at the lack of Google and
its accessibility. I tried using chromevox, but compared to voiceover
it is like using such an inferior screen reader with no rotor and
quick way to navigate a page that I lose my patience with it. Thanks
for any help.

Re: Google Plus and Google Docs

[Chris Blouch]

From past discussions it seems like the best (only) way to use Google 
Docs well is to kick VO to the curb and use ChromeVox with the Chrome 
browser. It's the Google way and you have to buy into their entire 
ecosystem for it to work.

Google Docs

[John Panarese]

Hi folks,
 OK, I am trying to help someone work with a shared Google Document.   I 
know in the past that I was able to use VoiceOver with Google Docs.  For seem 
reason, this does not seem to be the case, or I have forgotten some aspect of 
doing so.  Does anyone have experience in doing this and if so, can they please 
provide me with some advice and pointers?


Take Care
