[nabs-l] Google Drive accessibility

[Melissa Hambleton]

Your lucky to be able to read the first few paragraphs because when it comes 
to a spread sheet, it just doesn't read at all. Google Drive is still not 
accessible and when I need to use it with anything dealing with school work, 
I have to have all my info present and then have someone type it in for me 
and if I need anything read, I still have to have someone do that too. The 
screen reader keys don't work really and I have no idea why they even have 
them because I can't use them at all. I've also tried using Drive on my iPod 
Touch and still nothing is any better.
