Re: ΑΠ: [nvda] Unable To Access Documents In Google Docs

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.

No idea. All I know is it works, maybe there is some text that is changing
in google docs and google sheets etc. that causes this to brake when dynamic
changes spoken is turned off.

So what changed that made this necessary?

No this is I think expected, a bit odd, but to me expected. I found that out

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.
