Good choices.

I like Jaws and will continue on using Jaws 13 and sometimes NVDA.

Hi Gloria,

Nor was I, but maybe that's because I have always been and continue to be a
JAWS user, and I just wasn't used to the way SA To Go worked and read
things, not to mention its commands. Plus it has DecTalk as its speech
synthesizer, which I think is very hard to understand. But you Window Eyes
users would probably tell me I'm just too used to Eloquence. <Grin!>

Thank you!

I have NVDA installed.

The last time I tried Access to go, I wasn't impressed with it.

I know many are enthusiastic about Systegm Access. Not I. IMO Mr. Calvo was
and is guilty of a "bait and switch" caper; the "free" version of SA gives
good access but only runs with one's browser running. The full versions of
SA definitely aren't free although I grant that the payment plans are
reasonable.

My principle gripe is that SA updates one's system rather frequently and
without permission. I realize many want a "set and forget" system. Not I. I
want to be asked *every* time whether or not I want to update my system.

Stick with NVDA. It works quite well and the price is right.

Mike

Just like I told others, by the time I pay my rent, phone bill, and
utilities, I have just enough to by my personal items.

oria, 

Check out System Access.  This has much to offer.
