I would be happy to receive any feedback or solutions from this group. I have even attended accessibility testing at the Google HQ in NYC a couple of times in the last year, and the individuals proctoring the testing sessions are flummoxed by what is happening for me on my system. After exporting your workflow data you can import the downloaded file into Microsoft Excel (on Windows and Mac) Google Sheets Apple Numbers (on Mac). I have tried researching these issues extensively on Google, and I can’t find anyone posting about the issues I am having. I have to turn VoiceOver off and then back on to continue interacting with the document. I use Google Sheets and and Excel and I have a mac book air and use google pages on drive for our non profit can you. If I have multiple sheets or docs open, when I navigate from each browser tab to view or edit info on the other sheets/docs, and then return to the initial sheet/doc, I no longer receive any feedback from VoiceOver when I try moving up or down, side to side, within the document by using the aero keys. Randomly VoiceOver will announce “explore data.” When I have sheets opened, there is some sort of icon or graphic that is always disrupting my VoiceOver focus.

Other great apps like Google Sheets are Microsoft Office Excel, Airtable, NocoDB and Baserow. The best alternative is LibreOffice - Calc, which is both free and Open Source. The focus does jump up to the file menu, but when I try to either move further into the file options by pressing down arrow, or move horizontally to edit, view, etc., the focus jumps to the very end of the bar, to somewhere like format, and it will not allow me to move into any selected option’s menus. There are more than 50 alternatives to Google Sheets for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Online / Web-based, Windows, Linux and Android. When a google sheet or doc is opened in the browser, and I am looking to navigate up to the file menu, I press the pass through key combo (VO keys+tab) and then VO+F.

The screen reader preference is also enabled on Drive.
Google sheets for mac os pro#
for the record, I am using VoiceOver with quick nav disabled, on the latest version of Crome, on my MacBook Pro OS 10.13.4. I am going to do my best to explain what is happening below. For the last 8-9 months I have had some very aggravating behaviors creep up on Drive.
