Like y'all, I got a Chromebook for accessibility testing, but it appears they 
they confined accessibility to the totally blind.  It is an amazing netbook, 
but 
there is nothing for people with physical disabilities; no sticky keys no 
global 
speech recognition, nothing... Am I missing something?

Hi Daria,

I'll be brief here.  I also just received my Chromebook.  It comes with not 
enough information about how to make it work!

You turn on your Chromebook by opening it up, if it's a Samsung like mine 
anyway.  It doesn't come with Accessibility features enabled, so the first 
thing 
you should do is press Control+Alt+z, and wait for the voice to say 
"Accessibility Enabled."

On your Braille pages is  a link to the ChromeVox User's Guide online.  I used 
my regular computer to bring that up.  I'm now online and reading mail there, 
though I switched back to my usual computer to write back!

Hope this helpes!
Sandi
