<div dir="ltr">Unfortunately, I did not record the meeting. Below are some highlights from the meeting:<div>A Chromebook is a computer that runs CHromeOS which is Google's operating system. These computers are designed to work from the cloud.</div><div>Chromebooks have built in accessibility features such as the Chromevox screen reader, screen magnification, and dictation.</div><div> The set up of a Chromebook computer is quick since it involves signing into your Google account and answering a few questions. If something happens to your Chromebook and you need to purchase a new one, you will still have all your settings and documents that you created using Google Docs since they are saved in Google Drive.</div><div>If you create a document using Google Docs or a spreadsheet using Google Sheets, you can export those into Word or Excel format in order to give to people who use Microsoft Office.</div><div>Chromebook computers can run Android apps from the Google Play Store. Since I have a couple non Gmail accounts, I have an Android app called K9 Mail to use with these accounts.</div><div>The prices of Chromebooks range between $200 and $800. The prices depend on how much storage, RAM, processor and what ports are available on the computer. If you are a low vision person, you can get Chromebooks with HDMI ports so you can connect it to a TV.</div><div>Just like with other laptops, you can also choose between different size monitors when you are picking one to purchase.</div><div>I have detailed notes on using Chromevox, Google Docs and Gmail if anybody is interested.</div><div> </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Nov 10, 2022 at 1:15 AM Sherri Brun via NFBF-L <<a href="mailto:nfbf-l@nfbnet.org">nfbf-l@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg9037583557802687284"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="m_9037583557802687284WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">I’m with you Steve.
