Hi Kevin,
The answer to your question is regretfully no. In my experience, Firefox 
currently provides the best and most accurate experience when using Google Apps 
with Window-Eyes. This may change in the future, but as of today, I would 
recommend you avoid using Chrome for this specific task. I did some testing 
(Windows 10, Firefox 44.02 and Window-Eyes 9.4) and Window-Eyes did announce 
the focused cell's contents or position when I navigated around the sheet. This 
was true whether I used the Arrow keys or Tab, Shift-Tab, Enter and 
Shift-Enter. I did not have to go in and out of the menus to make this work. As 
Chris mentioned, I made sure that screen reader support was enabled. Screen 
reader support was toggled on automatically when I opened the sheet so I didn't 
have to do anything extra to make this happen. You can verify that screen 
reader support is enabled by looking for the Accessibility menu in the menu bar 
(Alt+Shift+A - Google Apps shortcut). If the Accessibility menu is there
 , screen reader support is enabled. If not, you can press Control+Alt+Z 
(Google Apps shortcut) to enable it.
When I tested in Chrome, I couldn't get Window-Eyes to announce the cell's data 
or position when I navigated around the sheet so I can duplicate the issue you 
are reporting. It looks like there is some work to be done before Chrome will 
offer the same user experience as Firefox. I suspect there is work to be done 
both on the Google side as well as the Ai Squared side. I will try to find some 
time to log some of the issues I ran into when working in Chrome so our 
engineering team will have something to investigate as time and priorities 
permit. 
Regards,
Marc

Subject: Window-eyes and Google Sheets

Hi:
I was wondering if anybody has used Window-eyes with Google Sheets.
My problem is that Window-eyes does not speak when moving from one cell to 
another.
I can make it work properly in Firefox by pressing shift-alt-f to go to the 
Google Sheets file menu and then pressing the escape key to get out of File 
menu, but it won't work when I am using Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.
Is there a setting that I need to set in Window-eyes or Google Chrome to 
correct this?
Kevin Huber
