Hi Kim and Sue!

Sue, The BraillePower displays which you and I both have will not work with 
System Access.

Kim, that's the problem for those of us who use Braille displays--as Ann 
said, there's such a limited number that will work with System Access. *sad*

Blessings.

Lynnsky

Hi, Sue, I think you are referring to the System Access screen reader. I'm
buying it for $24.95 per month and with that I have a membership in the SA
Mobile Network. Freedom Scientifics' screen reader will cost you about
$300-$600 more depending on whether you get the home version or pro version
of Jaws. I bought the former. Regards, Kim Friedman.

Jaws is only $550.  That may be because I have always bought Jaws, but that
is what they told me.  However, the version I have works okay so I didn't
order it yet.  It meaning Jaws 10.  Isn't system access for Linux?  Or is
that wrong?

Compared to the $1200 for jaws and $1000 for window-eyes, system access is a
bargain. I'm not positive about those prices, but they are close enough.
