Tracy:

In addition to screen reader support, you will want to turn on braille support as well. Even if you are not using refreshable braille, screen readers work better with Docs when this option is enabled. Like screen reader support, you can find this in the accessibility options under the Tools menu.
The Tools menu also has an option called preferences. This should allow you to turn off the automatic word correction and prediction features.
Hope this helps.
Jim

I've never used Google Docs before, but a class teacher does, so here goes.
I turned on screen reader mode.
Some things stay on screen, but other things are read and disappear immediately.  How can I make them stay, so I can study them?  It is a language class, so I need to see spelling.  And can I turn off spelling suggestions?  Since I'm not studying English, they're totally not helpful.
Thanks.
Tracy
