I've never had to try them of late. In the past, they were accessible,
though I was told by some that Google changed the layout and they are not
accessible now. I would assume using VoiceOver and Chrome would work, but I
have not done so as of yet to try. At some point, though, I'm sure I'll have
to do so to help someone.
