Dear all,
I am not sure I am convinced that dynamic content changes reporting is a natural requirement to access a document editor like Google Docs; but more importantly, if it is, that should be more clearly documented. While the default state of the setting is on, I probably encountered a website with a bunch of verbage, turned it off, and didn't think of it later (with barely any repercussions except the Google suite of online apps not working). Perhaps a note in the User Guide or speech feedback when in the Google Office suite reminding the user to enable dynamic content changes reporting may help.
Thanks.

So what changed that made this necessary?

Dear all,
Enabling the reporting of dynamic content changes fixed it, fortunately - thanks for that suggestion, Sarah! Enabling it consistently allows me to arrow through the document and disabling it reliably causes NVDA to go quiet during document navigation. (I have tested only in one document so far.) Is this expected behaviour or does this seem like a bug?
Thanks.

Hello every one:
I use last version of NVDA, and I use Microsoft Edge.
When I open a google document, it must to enable the accessible support, using Control+alt+Z.
The problem is about shortcut, because there are sometimes for this shortcut, it’s does not work.
Best regards, Dimitrios Tsakiridis.

I really do not know what is wrong with your device. I have been using google docs on google chrome since last October, 2021. It's working completely fine. Try using Google chrome. Main body and comment box is accessible with a keyboard. I have written 500 words today. It is completely working fine as it is expected.

Also try turning on speak dynamic text, if that is turned off the spreadsheet and stuff might not work as expected. I recently had this issue with sheets.

Hi Bhavya,
Sorry, that sounds super frustrating!
I'm also using Windows 10 and NVDA 2022.3.1
However, I'm using Firefox Nightly.
I may use NVDA and Google Docs differently
However, when I arrow around in the body of the document it is spoken as expected.
Maybe you can try one of the Firefox or non chrome based browsers to see if things work better as a work around
In the Google document I was checking
The summary/outline is accessible to the physical mouse over
However the body of the document is not accessible to the physical mouse over
The comments from other users is accessible to the physical mouse over
I hope this helps
Russ

Dear all,
I am using NVDA 2022.3 and the latest stable version of Microsoft Edge on Windows 10. At least for the last several weeks, I have not been able to access Google Docs document directly. I Press Ctrl+Alt+Z to turn screen reader support on and off, switch between browse and focus modes, and arrow around and Tab around to no avail. While navigating, I simply get "grouping focused off screen" and "Document content edit multi line blank." I have been going into focus mode and going Ctrl+A followed by Ctrl+c to paste the document text in a separate text editor to review, which, of course, is a non-ideal work-around.
Have you experienced this issue? Do you know of a more effective solution? I would truly appreciate any tips or suggestions.
