Re: My Chromebook setup, and a few questions
Hi there!
I'm going to assume that you are on the "Stable" channel of Chrome OS at this time. I would wait till Chrome OS 44 comes out, which won't be too long... Its currently in the "beta" channel.
Lets tackle the "Networking" thing first.
Please see This Article from OMG Chrome, for more info on Network Shares.
As for accessible apps, the Google Drive suite of apps are accessible of course, and so are the apps from One Drive
For a great Podcast Player, please have a look at the Podcast App within the Chrome Web Store. (Yes, that's what its actual name is.) As for a great offline HTML/Markdown Editor, please have a look at Stack Edit
Ah, and I can't forget, a "wonderful!" media player called 3PM Player , which also works offline.
Now, remember I said that Chrome OS 44 is in the "beta" channel? With Chrome OS 44, Chromevox jumps to the "next generation." Its name, is "Chromevox Next," and once it arrives to the stable channel, more to Chrome on the web be open to you, among it being "Android" apps, and better support for playing media streams, where that video/audio screen now reads. Same with the built-in Audio/Video programs within the Files app.
Keep in mind, Android apps support with "Chromevox Next," just like with Chromevox Next in general, is still "in development,'
To run Chromevox Next for a single page, add #chromev
ox_next_test to a link in the address bar, like so:
http://twit.am/listen#chromevox_next_test
If you'd like to try Chromevox Next everywhere throughout the operating system itself, visit the "Chromevox Options" screen, and enter the word "next."
To go back to the current Chromevox way of speaking, toggle Chromevox off/on with CTRL-alt-Z like usual.
Ah, almost forgot about Android Apps. Only Chromevox Next works with Android apps ported over to Chrome OS, although not all of them will work with it, thus "trial and error."
Podcast Addict" is one of the apps which works with CVN, though do to it being a "ported" Android app, don't expect it to speak everything. I've talked to the creator of the Podcast Addict app, which I purchased aw
hile back on Android, so Google still got work to do for Android app accesibility with Chrome OS app there.
By the way, for a listing of all Android apps and games ported to Chrome OS, please This Section of the Chrome Web Store.
If ya have anymore questions, or wish to clarify things, please comment!
PS. I've been a Chrome OS user since December of 2014, and also own an Acer Chromebook 11. I have never used Cruton before, though I have dived in the world of GNU/Linux over the years.
