I don't know if anything can be done but just use the stop speech command
before typing and then turn speech back on when finished.

Subject: [nvda] Google Docs


Using Google docs in Chrome with NVDA for me is frustrating for one simple
reason, and it's not NVDA's fault either. Simply put, irrespective of your
keyboard echo settings, I hear characters I type echo back to me. I've had
this in certain places on other sites too, my guess, although I cannot
confirm this, is that they're using some resource in ARIA to do this. I
don't like it at all. I don't want to hear characters as I type, it slows me
down. My question is, can anything be done about this, either on the google
docs side, or from an addon prospective. I did look into the accessibility
on google docs, yes, screen reader mode is active, and I found nothing
related to this.


It kind of bothers me that they would force this on users, it's that well
we're a big corporation so we know what's best for you type of thing. Not
much different from a sighted person grabbing you on the street, or just
coming right up to you and intruding on your space yelling about how you
need help, etc.
