This is System Access to Go, from Serotek Corporation.  The Accessibility Is
A Right Foundation which is involved with this version of SA To Go is at
least partially funded by Art Schriber, one of our members from New Mexico.
I don't know what the relationships are currently; this was announced 2 or 3
years ago.  The default speech synthesizer is DecTalk software, and this
screen reader can work with a number of programs, with limitations.  The
Access Technology Blog may have info, and there was a comparison of low-cost
screen readers in the Monitor a year or two ago which included System
Access.

May I recommend that before we get excited about a "free" screen reader that
we send this to our technology department and have them evaluate it before
we advertise it to our members in order that we don't mislead anyone?  Just
a suggestion.  Even though free sounds like something from Heaven,
especially in these economic times, somebody might jump in with both feet,
only to find this came from the other direction, rather than Heaven?
