Unable To Access Documents In Google Docs

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

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.
