[NABS-L] Google Docs and Slides

[Louis Maher]

Hello Leslie,

I use NVDA and Chrome, or Edge, or Firefox.  JAWS works fairly well with these browsers as well.

Open a G-suite document and turn on screen reader support: Alt + control + z"  You should only have to do this once.

You should also turn on Braille support in the tools menu:
Alt + shift t
And arrow down to accessibility settings, hit enter and turn on Braille support.

In a google suite document, the google suite menus are accessed with alt + shift: for example alt + shift + f gives you the file menu.
Just hitting alt gives you access to the browser's menus.

To display the keyboard shortcut list in G-suite, press Ctrl + / 
And
Shift + / for another list.

Subject: [NABS-L] Google Docs and Slides

Is anyone familiar with Google Docs and Slides? I think they are accessible, but I'm more familiar with Office 365. When I tried to access Google Slides a week ago, I could type but nothing showed up on my Braille display. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd also like to connect with either graduate students or students from Florida. I started my MPA this summer and haven't been back in school for a long time. Both courses require group projects, and using Google Slides seems to be very popular.
