>Dear Ryan:
>
>As we continually improve System Access and the SA Mobile Network,
>we want to make sure you know about all of the new features you're
>getting, as well as fixes for any problems you may have previously
>encountered. So this email describes the features and fixes that
>were just installed on ryan.
>
>Features
>
>Support For 64 Bit versions of Windows!
>
>
>Serotek is proud to announce the first release of a full-featured
>screen access product with support for Windows XP and Vista that
>includes 64 Bit versions. What does this mean to the user? Beginning
>as early as June 2008, many of the computer stores and office supply
>vendors have begun to stock their shelves with only computers
>running OEM versions of 64 Bit Windows. Many an unsuspecting
>customer has gotten home with a brand new computer only to discover
>that they cannot install and use their access technology on it. With
>the release of System Access 3.0, this is no longer an issue. Go out
>and buy a new computer, bring it home, install System Access 3.0 and
>you will be ready to go with your talking computer.
>Support for refreshable Braille!
>
>
>With the release of System Access 3.0, you can now have speech and
>refreshable Braille output. With the use of the Alva BC-640 Braille
>device, Serotek continues in its commitment to plug and play
>accessibility anywhere. Take your System Access and your Braille
>device with you to any computer and have speech and Braille output
>with no installation needed. This also means that nothing is left
>behind, not even Braille drivers when you are done working or
>playing at that computer.
>
>Support for new simplified menus.
>
>
>Our users have become use to quick access to E-mail, community
>forums, diverse entertainment options and so much more with very few
>key strokes within the System Access Mobile Network. Just when you
>thought it couldn't get any better, it did. The new simplified menu
>structure puts all of your favorite choices into lists where first-
>letter navigation is now possible. While we call it the "simplified
>menu interface," many of our advanced users have told us that
>navigation is much quicker now. For those who want the classic
>numbered menu option, it is also still available.
>
>Support for more responsive Neospeech!
>
>
>Kate and Paul, our internally supported human sounding voices just
>got faster. Whether moving through menus or typing quickly, users
>will notice more immediate reaction as the high-quality voices
>provide speech feedback to any computer task whether at work or play.
>
>Support for iTunes 8 and later!
>
>
>With the advent of iTunes 8, Apple has made it possible for adaptive
>technology organizations to support this application. Serotek again
>raises the bar by not only supporting the application interface, but
>also the iTunes store with quick and easy navigation for account
>setup and browsing the store itself. Whether you are looking for
>really cool podcasting, or getting serious about increasing and
>cataloging your music library, System Access 3.0 will make it easy
>for you to find your way around.
>
>Support for System Access To Go loading at lightning speed!
>
>
>Due to its 75% smaller footprint, SATOGO (System Access To Go)
>becomes virtually instant access to go whenever and wherever you
>need it even with a slow Internet Connection. Did you leave home
>without your U3 Key or Passkey CD? Don't worry, SATOGO has you
>covered on any computer with an Internet connection!
>
>Support for easier install and repair!
>
>
>Whether you are a brand new user or a Seasoned Serotek Subscriber,
>you won't be hunting for that elusive install file somewhere on the
>web site to set up or repair your software. If for any reason your
>System Access or Mobile Network won't start for you, simply run
>System Access to Go, log in with your credentials, go to the my
>account link and either repair your installation or download and set
>up a brand new copy of the System Access software. System Access is
>even smart enough to know if you have an installation or not. If it
>sees the software on your computer, you will hear the repair option.
>If it does not see an installation, it will show you an install link
>instead.
>
>Support for a new higher quality voice chat client!
>
>
>With the System Access Mobile Network 3.0 release, users will notice
>a much improved experience in the voice chat rooms. With its band-
>width conserving, yet crisp audio, full-duplex operation in specific
>rooms, the user can really enjoy the sounds of their growing
>community.
>Support For Voice Communication Over A Remote Session!
>
>
>Whether you are fixing someone's computer, showing someone a cool
>application you just installed or providing instruction and
>training, the advent of full-duplex voice communication is just the
>thing to use instead of a telephone or even Skype. You can now have
>your communication all in one place.
>
>Support for All-In-Play Games!
>
>
>Screen Access on computers isn't just for work anymore. It is also
>for fun. Serotek continues its spirit of cooperation with other
>companies by collaborating with All In Play, an interactive gaming
>community to make it possible for System Access 3.0 users to play
>their games: Tag, Crazy Eights, Draw Poker an Texas Hold'em. To
>check it out, browse on over to:
>All in Play
>
>Support for offline document scanning!
>
>
>With System Access 3.0, it is now possible to scan and read
>documents using our optional "Document Scan" application. The
>implementation of this feature is just another in a long line of
>user requests that Serotek has quickly responded to, in order to
>make our products what you, the user wants in your Access software.
>Fixes
>
>Recording of voice email messages, voice forum messages, and voice
>notes works again.
>Fixed a few serious problems with transfer of content to portable
>devices such as the Victor Reader Stream.
>Fixed a bug which prevented Windows Vista users from setting the SA
>Mobile Network as their default browser unless they disabled UAC.
>System Access once again reads the clock in the system tray.
>The Open File button in the My Files section works again.
>If you have experienced any problems with this update, please
>contact Serotek technical support by email at support at serotek.com or
>by phone at +1-650-249-1000. Thank you.
>
>The Serotek team
