Noah Tobias Carver 👨🏼🦯🇺🇦I hate being a grump on the internet, but #GoogleDocs with #OrcaScreenReader is a nightmare whether you use #Firefox or #Chromium. Not sure where the problem lies, but it's pretty near unusable in each browser for different reasons. Going to write an email to the Orca mailing lists and see what can be done about it, but wish someone had tested this before me.
Tamas G@NoahCarver oof, is that with Braille support enabled? Google Docs with most of them really sucks until you check that on, then it behaves a lot better
D.Hamlin.Music@Tamasg @NoahCarver Yeah was gonna ask this, screen reader by itself is not great, enable braille support even if you're not using a display and it behaves.
@dhamlinmusic @Tamasg having screen reader and braille modes on in Google Docs is great, but in Google sheets it’s a nightmare because it will report that you’re on a cell that you’re not actually on when it’s in braille mode there, and that is a bug that’s being in sheets for a while now. Need to write to Google about that one.
Superdave!@NoahCarver I've done some play with Google Docs in Firefox and Chromium, with Orca 49 and 50, and the latest browsers. What I wanted to do, I could, with minor annoyances. What were some of your test cases? I'll try one. Now running latest browsers on two machines. Orca 49 on one, and 51(Alpha) on the other. Using KDE desktop on both.
@wx1g thank you so much. I’m making dinner right now but when I’m back at my computer and can write out my thoughts thoroughly, I’ll be in touch with some ideas.
@NoahCarver Don't worry, Google Docs isn't that great with Windows like it used to be either. I usually use like MS office, so word.
