What are the issues you are having in Excel? There are issues there, but I haven't found a better alternative so far. Libre Office and Open Office are the main two options I know of, although neither is as accessible as Microsoft Office - of course it depends exactly what you need as well. Quentin.

There are definitely more issues with Open Office and LibreOffice, but feel free to give one or both a try (LibreOffice tends to get updated more often than Open Office, so it depends on whether you like more frequent updates or a more consistent experience). Which version of NVDA are you using? We did put some work into making the last couple of versions of NVDA more responsive in Office, particularly 2019.1 and later. Also, with Excel, if you are trying to open a large spreadsheet, maybe try opening Excel to a blank worksheet first - Excel is very complex, and depending on the contents of any given workbook, it can be very slow in general. If you can find something specific which causes NVDA to crash to respond sluggishly, I'd be happy to look into it for you, especially if it is something you can give steps to reproduce.

what are the difference between excel and calc. but libreoffice is free and opensource alternative to microsoft office. libreoffice developers provided opensource alternative to microsoft office for everyone in the world, that all people can use it without paying the money. however, like nvda and other opensource products, you can support libreoffice developers via donation.

I just worked on a spreadsheet with Google Sheets. If you turn off browse mode it works well.

Hi, I use Excel with simple tasks on a regular basis to keep a budget, to track my investments and to import my bank activities. I haven’t encountered any serious accessibility issues to make the program unusable Blessings Pascal From: nvda@nvda.groups.io <nvda@nvda.groups.io> On Behalf Of help tech accessibility

No, go to I believe sheets.google.com there is no app to my knowledge that will let you do this. That would be nice though. Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. . For more info go to our website.

As Sarah noted, Google sheets is an online spreadsheet service, as all the Google suite applications are and google drive itself. So you access it with your browser, and log in with your Google or Gmail account. Google have a page with tips on getting setup with a screen reader: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/1632199?hl=en I think you'll find that you can't do quite as much as with Excel, but here is a page on how to import your existing Excel workbooks into Google Sheets: https://www.howtogeek.com/398570/how-to-import-an-excel-document-into-google-sheets/ Kind regards Quentin.
