FYI

Earlier this year, members of the blind community shared a powerful
message with us about the importance of accessibility. We recently
announced<http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/enhanced-accessibility-in-docs-sites.html>some
accessibility enhancements to our products, including new keyboard
shortcuts and improved screen reader support in Google Docs, Google
Sites<http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2011/09/improved-accessibility-in-google-docs.html>and
Google
Calendar.<http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/improved-accessibility-for-google.html>For
blind students and employees who rely on assistive technologies to
access the web, we hope these improvements will make it easier to use
our products.

To answer your questions and discuss how our accessibility updates
affect
blind users, we*d like to invite you to join us for a webinar on
September
21. We will be focusing on updates for Google Docs, Google Sites and
Google
Calendar.
