Can someone please remind me, did you need something other than the key
to freedom or was the software integrated into the key and activated
when you plugged it in?

Hi, I don't know the answer to whether SATOGO has Braille support, but
I've a feeling if it hasn't it, or the Key should have before long as I
believe it was on the list of improvements to System Access. Maybe
Steve Nutt can be more definite.
It is very early days as yet, but I'd have thought you might get to
choose which speech engine the program uses, but this is one thing I'm
very unsure about. Does this net based speech access program use speech
synthesis located on the server? Or, how much does it rely on, say,
SAPPI, or what's on the host machine? I simply don't know the answer to
this.

and can you replace the annoying Stephen Hawkins synthisised voice?
