Not that I've seen, Valerie, though they're trying to send this thing out like 
an Apple device, with no documentation--and it's thousands of times less 
intuitive out of the box.

  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
