I wrote a short article on Google Docs and accessibility back in May. You can find it at http://northtemple.com/1594

I haven't checked recently, so things might have changed since then.

Subject: [WebAIM] Accessibility of Google tools

Hi,
Does anyone know the extent to which Google tools are accessible? e.g.
Google Docs and Google Sites.

I've looked at the Help sections of the above tools and the only info I
found on this was a plea for Docs to be more accessible for
screenreaders
(http://groups.google.com/group/Suggestions-and-Ideas-Writely/browse_thr
ead/thread/727a12f8f7ad1321?fwc=1&pli=1).

I'd be grateful for any information you can offer.

Thank you.
Regards,
Chetz
