sugestion, provide a shortcut key and automatically advertise hortographic errors in google docs #8155
Comments
@fernando-jose-silva what exactly do you mean when you say, "hortographic errors"? According to the shortcuts for Google Docs, you should be able to navigate to the next misspelling or previous misspelling by pressing Ctrl + ' or Ctrl + ;. I do not believe NVDA can create shortcuts for Google Docs. |
Many thanks for the feedback. |
What do you mean with horological errors? NVDA should already be able to report grammar errors when appropriately exposed, see #8280 |
I did some tests: |
I think I understand you now and I've been able to reproduce this. Google uses its own implementation to announce spelling errors, it does not expose spelling and grammar errors in a way that NVDA can detect them as such. Therefore, there's probably nothing we can do here. @derekriemer: Could you spread any light on this? |
I request this feature every day I use Google docs. |
maybe @aleventhal or @ObjectInSpace can help here, NVDA should be able to identify these if they are properly exposed I guess. |
I'm happy to pass this on, but I'm a little confused about the precise ask. I was under the impression that spelling and grammatical errors are currently announced by NVDA, if braille mode is turned on from the accessibility settings dialog in docs's tools menu. This places the document within a content editable. Chrome and Firefox report text mistakes in content editables and text input fields, so this should also hold true for docs when it is in this mode. Is this not the case? note that when braille mode is off, screenreaders receive updates from docs via live regions. I don't believe they can contain this type of formatting information. Is there a third type of error that is not being reported to screenreaders? A reproduction case could clarify the matter. Thanks much! |
Ok this works properly in Firefox but not completely in Chrome. When enabling braille support, in Chrome, NVDA reports spelling and gramar errors when navigating through the document, but it does not report them when you type via sound or something like it does in Firefox. |
Steps to reproduce:
Open a document in google docs.
When navigating with arrows the nvda does not announce the hortographic errors.
There is not even a nvda shortcut key to navigate between the horizonal errors in the document, as there is in word (w).
Expected behavior:
The suggestion is that the nvda read the hortographic errors when navigating with the arrows through the text.
I would also like to suggest a shortcut key to allow you to navigate the horizons in a text.
Actual behavior:
Nvda does not currently advertise the hortographic errors when navigating the text with the arrows.
There is no shortcut key to allow quick movement between hortographic errors in text.
