[NABS-L] Google Docs and Slides

[Justin Heard]

Hi there.

I am very familiar with GoogleSlides and GoogleDocs, and they are very 
accessible. I use them with a combination of GoogleCrhome and NVDA and 
they both work well, though the initial set up was a little tricky. 
Sometimes the accessible keyboard shortcuts are not turned on by 
default, and the setting is a little tricky to find. I believe they also 
work well with JAWS. I know of someone who uses JAWS with Firefox, 
though I am sure Chrome would work as well.

Check out google.com/accessibility for more information. Additionally, 
if you would like some one-on-one help, you could email me privately and 
we could set up a time to go over it. Barring any bizarre technical 
difficulties, I can usually teach it in about 15 minutes.

Thanks.
