Hi Chris Somehow this ended up in my own inbox. Thanks for that confirmation. I'm going to install NVDA very shortly and hope to upgrade to 8 this week. Do you think the upgrade from 7 to 8 is worth while? There are a couple of apps which I have which I'm not sure about Windows 8 compatibility, but we will see. Oh yes, and what works for Mail under Windows 8?

In other words, as soon as you log into System Access to Go with your account, or you start System Access with an active internet connection, you will be automatically using the full version you previously paid. I'm not sure however what happens if you run it without an active internet connection. Maybe the license is downloaded and stored locally so it can be used offline. This is from when I had a System Access account, which I no longer have. As for Nvda it works excellent under Windows 8. Can't speak for the Sapi 5 query other than the default voices, which are very nice by the way, works just fine. Chris.
