In addition to the improved announcements for braille comments and highlights available in Google Docs on Web, and the recent launch of more control over accessibility preferences, we’re introducing Announce Shortcuts for Calendar event details. 

Users of screen readers can now type a keyboard shortcut that verbalises the content of an event, such as the title, date and time, guest list, and much more. These shortcuts greatly improve glanceability because they enable Calendar details to be heard on demand instead of time consuming navigation through information. 

To view keyboard shortcuts in Calendar, type: 

• Ctrl+/ on Windows and ChromeOS 
• Cmd+/ on Mac 

Use the following keyboard combinations to access Announce Shortcuts: 

• Alt+ for Windows 
• Alt+Shift+ for ChromeOS 
• Option+ for Mac

• Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Full rollout (1–3 days for feature visibility) starting on September 27, 2022 
• Available to all Google Workspace customers, as well as legacy G Suite Basic and Business customers 
• Available to users with personal Google Accounts
