Date sent: Thu, 15 Sep 2011 17:48:18 -0400
Google has recently released a new blog post announcing some
accessibility
improvements that have been made to applications such as Docs,
Gmail,
Spreadsheet, and Calendar. I am happy to report that several
of our
members have , and will continue to participate as testers for
these
applications. The link to the blog is below.

We are pleased to see the amount of progress that Google has made
over the
summer to these apps. There is still much work to be done,
however. We
expect to test even more improvements in the coming months.
Thousands of
ACB's blind, visually impaired, and deaf-blind members are eager
to take
advantage of the convenience and flexibility that cloud-based
applications
provide. Our relationship with Google is intended to insure
that our
community doesn't get left behind.
