[NABS-L] Google Docs and JAWS

[Santiago H]

Hi Chris, 
Google Docs does work well with JAWS, and a lot of the keyboard shortcuts they use are similar on all platforms. Personally, I still feel like Office has a better interface, but Docs is definitely usable. Google's accessibility site has help pages if you need to refresh on the keyboard shortcuts.

I have long thought that the most accessible way to work with Google Docs and Google Drive is to use their apps on iOS with VoiceOver and (if one is available) a Braille display. However, it seems that recent updates to both the Docs app and iOS have made editing Google docs with a Braille display a bit tricky. So I'm wondering if a PC would be better.

From what I have observed, she is able to at least save Word files to and open them from Google Drive with an interface similar to Dropbox's. However, I don't know how nicely Google Docs files play with JAWS at this point. So, is there a good accessible way to read, write and edit Google docs on a PC with JAWS? If so, what should I use?
