I agree. The biggest thing to know is that you have to turn off the virtual
PC cursor in JAWS to make it work. There are several great, short, tutorial
videos made by the accessibility team at Google that are worth the watch. I
don't have the link handy but a quick Google search should get it.

Best,
Greg

Jaws 18 works with it pretty well.  -----Original Message-----

Hello, all,
     At the end of the week, my BrailleNote Touch is being sent in for
repairs, and I will be without a note-taker for about a month.  My high
school relies very heavily on Google apps (Docs, Classroom, and Drive
mostly), and I have a Dell laptop running JAWS/NVDA.  I have attempted to
use Google services with my screen-readers in the past, but it seemed quite
convoluted and the Touch was far more intuitive, so I haven't looked at it
in a few months.  Have any of you successfully used Google Docs with a
screen-reader?  If so, do you have any advice?

Thank you in advance,
Kelly
