[NFBCS] Google docs

[Curtis Chong]

Hello Tracy:

 

If the Google Doc is something that you only need to read and review (as
opposed to collaborating with others authorized to edit the document), you
can just as easily download this as a Word document. With the virtual cursor
turned off, press Alt F to get into the File menu, and arrow down
toDownload.

 

Cordially,

 

Curtis Chong

Tracy:

 

In addition to screen reader support, you will want to turn on braille
support as well. Even if you are not using refreshable braille, screen
readers work better with Docs when this option is enabled. Like screen
reader support, you can find this in the accessibility options under the
Tools menu.

The Tools menu also has an option called preferences. This should allow you
to turn off the automatic word correction and prediction features.

Hope this helps.

Jim

I've never used Google Docs before, but a class teacher does, so here goes.

I turned on screen reader mode. 

Some things stay on screen, but other things are read and disappear
immediately.  How can I make them stay, so I can study them?  It is a
language class, so I need to see spelling.  And can I turn off spelling
suggestions?  Since I'm not studying English, they're totally not helpful.

Thanks.

Tracy
