The correct and full name for the screen reader is now in the subject line. It is also commonly called SaToGo, pronounced Sa2Go, and is available at www.satogo.com . I hope I''ve also hereby demonstrated how easy it is to change the subject line if a writer isn't happy with the existing description of his subject. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cearbhall O Meadhra" <cearbhall.omeadhra@xxxxxx> To: <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 11:49 AM Subject: [vicsireland] Re: Access To Web screen reader, and Skype alternative Thanks, Eamonn, I don't think your subject line is quite right, I am sorry to say! The "AS To Go" screen reader does not only give access to the web. it is sourced from the web but then functions fully on your pc as if you loaded it using your start menu. I got it from www.accessibilityisaright.org/ from Dara's email to VICS last week. Registration is painless and free and taeks only a few seconds. That gives you a user and pin for access to your settings of the way you want the AS To Go to operate on your system. You can use it without registering but then you are loading it with the default settings every time. Paul has kindly contacted me and instructed me to remove one of the Skype Tools that is eating memory even though I never use it. I will report any impact that might have on the use of AS To Go and Skype! I will take a look at Voip Cheap and report back.

You mentioned that Skype is a bit of a memory-hog. As an alternative, you may like to try Voip Cheap. www.voipcheap.co.uk I've really only used it and Skype a couple of times, and wouldn't describe myself as being familiar with either program. I don't know how Voipcheap compares to Skype in terms of using pc resources. Look forward to using SA to go. There's a demonstration of it to be found on the Main Menu archive and also on Rick harmon's Blind Geek Zone. Come to think of it, I think it's the same demo. Regards.

It emulates some of the more common JAWS key strokes and that makes it very comfortable for me to use as a JAWS user. One serious drawback emerged later on after I had closed the "Access to Go": my PC slowed down considerably. Many keystrokes failed to function and it was necessary to restart my computer to regain control. As Skype was also open, I cannot be sure that the problem was caused by the screen reader alone. I find that Skype is a very selfish memory user and impacts heavily on system resources. I will try the screen reader again without loading Skype and see how the system survives!

I think that this should be excepted in the light that it's offered. Not as the primary screen reader for ones computer. NVDA is marketed at that area of screen reading but instead, it is marketed as a temporary solution for situations where you do not have access to your required software but need to access a system temporarily. ********************************************************************** This communication is intended solely for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain privileged and/or other confidential information.
