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

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?
