Hi Tim, Crazy yes however the organisation I work for seem to develop or purchase products that are not optimised for IE infact we use an oracle system that keeps telling us that IE is not a supported browser and please update to a later version, Crazy how IE 11 isn’t up to date.
And more to the point edge works worse than IE does.

I'm thinking that this practice is possibly waning with the increased use of the Mac and the growth of Chrome as well. Later...

As far as I recall, IE and Google didn't play well together at all. Of course, this may have changed since I've not bothered keeping up with much to that subject in the Windows world. I only touch Windows about once a month or so to work within the Active Directory or to assist someone else, so I'm certainly not much in the loop. Later...

When I was playing with docs on the mac, I couldn't get VoiceOver to work at all. Arrowing through the document said "beginning of text" or "end of text." Sometimes it spoke each character twice. It was unusable. I tried VoiceOver in Chrome with the same results. Finally had to use ChromeVox in Chrome to work with Docs on the mac.

I’ve never really been a fan of Sony but the new Sony Android tvs I’m realy changing my mind, Playing around with the Sony 8500 TV today Talkback allowed us to work through menus and channels / input sources as well as the multiple menu levels with speech enabled Sony and Google have in these tv’s given us the sightless more of an ability to control the tv without sighted assistance. As for google docks and chrome vox, This is surely just a start for Google and with time they will make the g suite usable with voiceover or even jaws / widnow eyes.

And I can't talk about how good it is or isn't. Frankly, I resented chrome box from the beginning. Because I thought the Google should play along with the screen readers and not expect people to learn a specific Screenwitter just so they can access their stuff. I mean after all, we have lots of standards. Why did google have to do something weird and different? HTML is HTML. But not if your Google. So I have a bias against chrome box. But I can't speak to how good it is or is not. I think Google should've played with the standards that existed already in HTML and not expected blind people to learn a whole different system just because they can..

Haven't had time to do a topic search for this, so maybe it's already been addressed, but I'm having no luck using the help information from google on using docs with voiceover on the mac. I can't even find the edit field for the body of the document, just the field for giving it a title. Navigating to and activating a menu, or using the VO passthrough key and then the shortcut to activate a specific menu, yields inconsistent results. I made sure quicknav was off and that screen reader mode was enabled. What am I missing? Or is it actually just a mess anyway? -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
