Google is making several improvements to accessibility features in Google Docs. Some enhancements you’ll notice are:
- Improvements in how screen readers verbalize content, including for non-text information like comments and suggestions.
- Improvements in how Braille displays render content, including symbols, emojis, and other glyphs.
- Improved support for navigating through elements such as tables, headers, and footers.
- Improved caret tracking.
These improvements will make it easier for users of assistive technologies to work in Google Docs.
