Google Drive Guides for JAWS and VoiceOver

Step-by-step guides to use Google Drive with JAWS or VoiceOver for individuals who are blind or visually impaired

SHARE

I have created these Google Drive Guides for JAWS and VoiceOver for students (and adults) who are screenreader users and/or teachers. They are step-by-step guides and are designed to be as easy as possible to follow. Since so many students are now using Google Drive in their classes, we hope that this information will be timely and helpful!
