Re: [orca-list] using google webapps(I.E. drive)

You have to install the ChromeVox extension and a TTS, like the US
female TTS from Google. I've always done this with sighted help. If you
have this set up on one system, like on a Windows system where you can
use JAWS or NVDA to install the extensions, then you'll get this on
another system after you log on and give the packages time to sync and
download. Note that you also have to use the Google Chrome application.
I couldn't get this to work with Chromium.
