Hi, Margaret. I haven't heard of peapod. Maybe you could try system access
to go and see if that works better with peapod.com.

Has anyone tried system access to go with
www.peapod.com
I've ordered groceries from them for more than 3 years and developed
several
problems using the site since installing the Beta of JAWS 10 that I never
had with previous JAWS versions. The worst is that I can no longer delete
items from my list. I filed bug reports during the Beta cycle, but the
final version of 10 didn't fix the problem. I greatly appreciate the fact
that Peapod is available in my area, but the site isn't the best designed
and I'm looking for something that would get rid of the duplicate images I
get now on the Peapod site that make it even worse.
Thanks,
Margaret

Hi, John. I use system access to go when I shop on the Albertsons website
and it's wonderful. I don't get that weird technical error message when
I'm
trying to read my order to see if it went through. I like that you can
use
it on any computer.

No Deb. You don't download that program unless you are a paying
customer.
You can use it free by signing up, getting your account number and PIN,
then
going to the site, http://www.satogo.com
and signing in again. Now, once SA is running, you can move to any site
you
want and it will keep on going. That's how it works. The idea was to
create a speech driven screen reader which is accessible to anyone on any
computer with a sound board. The great part is that you can change the
voices, speed, volume and so on and then save them. If you have an
account,
you can then bring up that screen reader wherever you are. I used it
once
at my niece's house and she and her husband were amazed. I could
navigate
her computer resonably well except for the areas where she had changed
things like the screen magnification and things like that.
What an incredibel tool!

I used the web site http://www.xmradio.com as a test and ran both
screen
readers.
I tried to use NVDA first. On that web site you will need to choose
"Full
Channel Line Up" to experience the same situation.
With Jaws and NVDA , the speech quit almost immediately. As I mentioned
in
an earlier message, I believe that the problem exists in the fact that
there
are Flash links all over this page. Jaws and NVDA both got jammed up
by
these links and quit entirely. There was literally no way to get them
back
and I tried everything.
Next, I took System Access To Go for a spin and what do you know, it
worked!
For some reason, I'm still not sure why, SA read the links but did not
get
hung up.
On our list is a member called Debbie. She mentioned a web site
provided
by
ABC, http://www.abc.com and I think that this site has the same problems
as
the newly designed XM Radio page does.
CONCLUSION: For some limited purposes, System Access, although it's a
very
limited tool, will work where Jaws and NVDA do not.
I thought some of the people here might find this interesting.
