I find it quite funny that there are RC builds out there much advertised here, and nobody spots problems, but due no doubt to Murphy's law, they all get noticed on the release version. Both in this case on brailed support by the looks of it.
You can't win really, can you? :-)

Otherwise users get wrong expectations. Regards Davy Verstuurd vanaf mijn iPhone Op 9 mrt. 2018 om 09:56 heeft Sylvie Duchateau <sduchateau@...> het volgende geschreven:
Hello Quentin and all,
I have screen reader support enabled, braille support enabled in Google docs.
Unfortunately, I still cannot find any option in the Google Sheets settings, to enable Braille Support.
In their help section Google say:
"Turn on Braille support
1. Open a Docs file on your computer:
•Docs, Slides, or Drawings: Open the file in Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer.
•Sheets: Braille support in Sheets is available on Chrome OS with the ChromeVox screen reader. Please make sure that you have the latest versions of Chrome OS and ChromeVox. We’re working to add support for other platforms and screen readers.
2. If you haven't already turned on screen reader support for the Docs editors, press Ctrl + Alt + z (Windows) or ⌘ + Option + z (Mac).
3. In the Accessibility menu, select Settings.
4. Select Enable Braille support.
If you turn Braille support on in Docs, Sheets, Slides, or Drawings, the setting applies whenever you sign in to any of these editors."
See: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/6057417?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en
On this page, https://venturebeat.com/2018/01/09/google-adds-braille-support-to-sheets-magnifier-tool-to-slides-and-drawings/
they say:
"Braille displays can already be used to read and edit texts in Docs, Slides, and Drawings. With the added support for Sheets, users will now be able to read and edit cell contents, as well as navigate between cells on a sheet. According to Google’s blog post, this will only be available on Chrome OS with the ChromeVox screen reader, for now. The company says it is working to add support for other platforms and screen readers."
So I thought that with this announcement on what's new in NVDA, the support would work, but it still does not here.
Thank you for any information you can find.
Best
Sylvie

Hi Sylvie,
I must admit I need to test this more myself, but reading: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/6057417?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en it indicates you need to enable screen reader support, and then enable braille support as well in Google sheets itself. It also gives a little info on using the routing keys on the display to navigate.
Let me know whether that does or doesn't help!
Quentin.

Hello Quentin and all,
Thanks for the good news on NVDA 2018.1.
While reading "what's new" in this version, I saw the following statement:
"Early support for Google Sheets with Braille mode enabled. (#7935)"
What does it mean?
I could not get Braille to work in Google Sheets with this new version.
Thank you for your response.
Best
