New accessibility settings for Docs, Sheets, and Slides!

April 1, 2019

In Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, it is now easier to find the accessibility features like screen reader support, braille support, and screen magnifier support.

Although these accessibility features were already available, they required additional steps to access the accessibility menu. This change makes these settings more readily available by placing them in the Tools menu.

Access the Accessibility menu by selecting Tools, then Accessibility settings...
