hi guys,
I've installed chrome vox on google chrome. I'm new to it but I find that the internet is more faster with this!
Is anyone using it with windows 10? if so, could you give me a list of commands for chrome vox? Thanks in advance!
I use it sometimes, but as for a list, it is just something you learn as you go.
Pressing the alt or applications keys will show you much.
Otherwise, just use it much like FireFox, if you've use that one.
As to faster, it just depends on what you're doing.
Some seem to work better for specific reasons.
The only list of commands you need for that shit they call a screen reader is the
command that disables it.
I use ie too. chrome vox if I need to be fast on the internet and type.
I tried Chrome once. Insert+f7 does not bring up a list of links, h does not move to the next heading, etc. Almost none of the standard web shortcuts work and documentation is often intended for people using tablets. I can use several browsers and operating systems but I never figured out Chrome.
You have to use l and h and press insert twice according to a friend of mine, danyiel Salmon.
Why can't they follow standards?
no idea. :(
It isn't that touch.
I like it actually.
I once didn't, but it is improved.
I just use it much like other browsers and sometimes a shortcut will be announced by Jaws.
I take it back. I tested Chrome a couple days ago on both Windows and Mac and it now works. I don't know why it never worked for me before, but I'm glad it works now.
I would highly suggest that you use ChromeVox Next as it is much faster from my testing on a Chromebook due to a rewrite of the software. It is called Next because it is currently in beta. Instructions for switching from classic to next can be found at http://www.chromevox.com/next.html. no additional download is necessary. A list of keyboard shortcuts for the ChromeVox Next screen reader can be found at http://www.chromevox.com/next_keyboard_shortcuts.html. I think that previous users of classic (which is the current default version of ChromeVox) will find that Next has keyboard commands that are more in line to commands used in other screen readers.
hmm, thank you, Brandon!
Voyager it sounds like they're talking not about the Chrome web browser, but the screen reader extension that is supposed to replace NVDA, JAWS, or whatever you're using. I've never used it personally.
We can always count on Brandon @am_dxer for helpful and clear answers to technical questions!
yup! he's a smart one!
I have what might be a silly question here.
Why use Chrome and/or Chrome Vox if IE/FF + your screenreader of choice works well? Is there really that big an increase in speed, for one thing? Is there greater security? How good is this screenreader extension? Because to me, admittedly, it sounds like more hassle than it's worth.
I thought they were talking about the browser too.
The screen reader I'd not use on my computer.
I have no need?
Was I and Voyager wrong?
Smile.
Ah, so I was sort of right.
Sia is using google chrome., just with the add on.
My google chrome., without seems just as fast on Windows 10 as anything else I use.
I'm more less in agreement with Shep, why all the extra if you don't need?
I'll have to add it and see.
I was aware that Chromevox was a screen reader for Chrome, but it seems redundant now that Chrome works with both NVDA and Voiceover. I also don't see the advantage of a browser running its own screen reader. Could someone more familiar with Google software please explain it?
well, with it's own screen reader, google chrome with the screen reader can read google docs... something Jaws or NVDA can't do. and it can read you the google slides and even lists the damn options.
So, why do we want it?
Come on girl, tell us why you think it is worth switching when you're already running something that works and you just get on your Chrome and shop?
