Suffering with Chrome Vox (self.Blind)
submitted by thatawkwardcosplayer
Is there anyway to way NVDA on my school chrome book that doesn’t involve soft hacking it back to Linux?
I really don’t like vox.

No. NVDA is Windows only right now. I do not know of any Chrome Vox alternatives for ChromeBooks. Linux does have a lot of choices though but no NVDA

There isn’t a way to do this. While ChromeVox is different, it’s surprisingly powerful. Starting in episode 155 of my podcast, Mosen At Large, I did a series of tutorials on how to use ChromeVox. Transcripts of each episode are also available which can be a useful quick reference. They may help. Chromebooks also offer TalkBack for use with Android apps.

Chromevox isn’t that bad you just need to learn how to use it and get use to it. Linux if the right one has orca.

Oo ill check into orca. I dont mind vox too much, its just a hassle when im at school and have to reset it every time i log into my account

I would assume not knowing how those types of devices work in general, but cannot be sure as I am not that familiar with Chromebooks.
