reading charts and graphs in google sheets and libreoffice calc #6702

In order to get google sheets and libreoffice calc more accessible, could the NVDA developers add many of the accessibility enhancements already done in microsoft office include them also for google sheets and libreoffice calc? such as ability to read charts and graphs, browse mode, reading of comments, and more? thanks.

Thanks @joshknnd1982 for raising this. This would represent a large amount of work, and will need to be split up unto smaller issues. Improvement to the NVDA support for google sheets and libreoffice. We will need to assess the demand for each of these features, and try to understand how long it will take to implement. However, overall I would suggest that this work would be priority level 3.

When working on part of this, please create a new issue to represent just that part and comment here.

Any improvements to Google Sheets accessibility need to happen on Google's side, especially given the way they've implemented the current accessibility.
