The below is from google access. Let me know if these steps have been tried.

Has this individual tried these steps? Note that it is best for accessibility mode to be turned on in Docs if it isn't already, and for the individual to use focus mode, instead of browse mode in Orca. thanks.

The below is not my personal question, but from a blindness related Linux list. You will note they are using Firefox, but still finding issues. Sharing because like most of the general public they did not even know an accessibility list exists for google products...at all. I am directing them to join here as well. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2019 21:45:26 +0000 From: Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> To: Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Downloading from Google Docs Okay, so someone shared a google doc with me, and I spent like half an hour trying to download the file and accomplished nothing but giving myself a headache. Google Docs is an inaccessible hunk of junk I'd like to hear scoured from the face of the Earth, but since the abomination isn't likely to be going anywhere anytime soon, and it's probably going to only get more common place for people to send me documents via Google Docs than as a sensible e-mail attachment, I'd like to ask my fellow blind Linux Users if they've found anything that makes it easier to go from being sent a link to a Google Doc to opening a file in your text editor of choice and having your screen reader of choice read it? If it matters, I'm using Firefox and I've tried downloading both with Javascript enabled and disabled. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
