Chrome vox is an ad in screen reader by google to work with its chrome OS and web browser. It was developed several years ago when chrome came out, before the actual development of chrome OS. At the time, there was a certain amount of handwringing around Google's decision to develop a special ad in, rather than making chrome accessible with existing assistive technology on existing platforms. It involves a whole set of keystrokes to navigate in chrome. And they are, in many cases, not intuitive for someone coming from a windows background, and they are often multi finger deals that rival or surpass voiceover in there complexity. It's kind of like Emacs speak. And if you're not familiar with that, count your blessings.
