[Trainer-Talk] file sharing drive suggestions

Sun Aug 18 03:03:28 UTC 2019

Hello,

Does Microsoft One Note work okay with voice over?

Also, what are some of the accessibility
quirks? So far,  as I experiment with Word on IOS, I think a quirk may be 
the lack of ability to see format attributes like italics and where one 
paragraph ends and begins. It seemed like Voice Over read through it and 
would not announce that even when I went line by line.At least you can read 
the files though. So, I could read notes I took at home on the portable 
tablet and this is nice to do and I could teach others about that.

Thanks, Brad for this information. I was pretty sure Microsoft worked to 
some extent but you confirmed it.

Ashley

In answer to your question, Microsoft applications such as Word, do work on 
an iOS device, but there are some VoiceOver accessibility quirks that take 
some getting use to.  You will also need an Office 365 subscription if you 
want unrestricted use of the applications.

Brad and all,
Thanks for responding. Its good to know that One Drive app works on both IOS 
and mac.

Do Microsoft applications work well on IOS though? For instance, if I bought 
the Word app and wanted to edit and add info to a file, can I do this easily 
with voiceOver?
I hope that will work because a common format is Word files. I know IOS has 
an equivalent program to Word but I don't think I'd use that; I do not have 
a mac and plan to do my Word processing and most large file creation on a 
pc.

But reading files on a tablet will help in the ease of access because a 
tablet and smart phone are portable and light.

Thanks.
Ashley

I agree with David.
There is also a One Drive app for both Mac and iOS.  They both are very 
accessible with VoiceOver.

While I have used Dropbox and find it to be totally accessible my personal 
preference is OneDrive. In addition to it also being very accessible you 
will receive a terabyte of storage if you are an Office 365 subscriber.

Hi All, What are good file sharing sources you can access across platforms? 
Particularly IOS  tablets and Windows pcs. Also, does Microsoft One Drive 
work well on the pc side with screen readers and IOS? Iâ?Td like to use that 
if possible. Also, I know we mainly discuss computers and tablets here for 
training, but if you all can comment on anything file related that 
interfaces with Google Home or the Amazon Echo devices, Iâ?Td like that. I 
think I heard that the Microsoft To Do app might interface with the Echo. I 
find that dropbox has changed layouts and is no longer very screen reader 
friendly; a few unlabeled buttons and arrows to click on and I cannot 
determine what they do. I wish dropbox were better to use with screen 
readers including Jaws because everyone seems to use it and I wanted to 
teach it to others; yet, when they changed it a few years back, I found it 
combersome. Thanks in advance! Ashley
