[Electronics-talk] Google Apps

[Mohaned Sayegh]

Yes, I'm going to list your options in order from most to least accessible:

1. Chrome OS: Purchasing a Chromebook with Chrome OS will provide you with 
the best support for google applications, even better than using the Chrome 
Vox extention on windows. It's very highly responsive, well documented and 
even has touchscreen support.
2. Android: Android's accessibility support for google apps is quite good, 
almost as good as what you get in Chrome OS. However, the Talkback screen 
reader does tend to lose focus and jump around a little in documents.
3. Chrome Vox: The Chrome Vox extention for the Chrome web browser on 
windows provides great support for google apps, but it's laggy in comparison 
to the above options. Unfortunately, it is also a little unstable.
4. NVDA: NVDA with Firefox provides decent support for google apps, but it's 
quirky. It gets formatting information in docs wrong half the time and table 
navigation can be inaccurate. Also, NVDA sometimes skips text when you're 
trying to read line by line.
5. JAWS: It works, but it's unstable. I'd avoid this option if at all 
possible.
6. Window-eyes: Well, it's Window-eyes. Enough said.

I hope this helps you. I apologize in advance for any misinformation in this 
e-mail; all misinformation is unintentional.

Hi,



Do any of you have tips or advice on using Google drive, Google docks, or
Google hangout? I have to use them for a class, and as far as I can tell,
they are not very useable.



Thanks,

Mark
