Hi, John. It really is incredible what system access to go can do. I signed up for a free account where I log into the site to use the screen reader and it's wonderful. It really is amazing that you can use it on any computer. All you have to do is log in type in your account number (phone number), your pin number and you're good to go.Rosemarie----- Original Message ----- From: "JOHN JUSTICE" <[email protected]>To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 25, 2009 11:48 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] NVDA VERSUS SYSTEM ACCESS TO GO, COMPARISONI wonder if people realize just how incredible that is? You sit down at a computer where you've never been before. With a few keystrokes or even a thumb drive if you're a paying customer, you can activate a screen reader and navigate quite a bit. Sure, it's limited but can some of these other screen readers do that? I know I'm a newby to this technology and maybe that's why I think it's amazing. Good to hear from you Rosemary.

I use system access to go when I shop on the Albertsons websiteand 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.

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.comand signing in again. Now, once SA is running, you can move to any siteyou want and it will keep on going. That's how it works. The idea was tocreate a speech driven screen reader which is accessible to anyone on anycomputer 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!

Debbie -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of JOHN JUSTICE Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2009 4:11 PM To: BLIND COMPUTING MAILING LIST Subject: [Blind-Computing] NVDA VERSUS SYSTEM ACCESS TO GO, COMPARISON 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 mentionedin an earlier message, I believe that the problem exists in the fact that thereare Flash links all over this page. Jaws and NVDA both got jammed upby 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 notget hung up. On our list is a member called Debbie. She mentioned a web site provided byABC, http://www.abc.com and I think that this site has the same problemsas 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.
