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.

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?
