[nfbcs] crome Vox

Tue May 13 15:45:13 UTC 2014

I was first asked to learn about WorldSpace and then told I would be working at another person's machine and would be using Crome Vox. It is a new project he has taken on and he wants Section 508 to be included from the beginning. I must be making an impact afterall.

Hi Suzie,
Please let us know what you think of Chrome Vox as I haven't used it yet.
Supposedly, it is designed to work in conjunction with some of the Google apps including Chrome, Google docs and so forth. I've used Chrome at times with JAWS,and it works fairly well, but I've had varying degrees of success with some of the other Google apps. The thing that frustrates me about Google is the inconsistency of access to its apps.
Let's take Gmail for instance. I can use the web version fairly well as long as I keep the HTML setting enabled, but if I switch to the standard view, which actually enables more features, it doesn't work nearly as well.
Then in Google docs, it isn't easy to collaborate with my sighted colleagues when we are expected to add information to a document. I often have to send my information to someone and ask them to add it.
Now, Chrome may make these tasks easier, but I havent' experimented with it yet.

The social netwowrking tool, Google Plus is another frustration for me as we are expected to post stories and other information as that means a higher ranking when readers are searching for content.
Suzie, if you don't mind my asking why your supervisor wants you to use Chrome? Are you working more within the Google environment? We are doing so at the McClatchy newspaper company

That is correct. However, it is a feature of the browser, not the website.

was going to work with Crome Vox. He said it is a system where the web site talks to me. Do any of you know what I might be referring to?
