You can download and try the FreedomBox for 30 days for free.
It can be downloaded from
www.freedombox.info
Two distinct advantages come to mind with a freedomBox subscription.
1. The ability to create what is called a FreedomBox passkey, a CD that
when inserted into any CD drive of any PC, will immediately begin to speak,
using System Access. While generally not considered a screen reader,
System access works well with the Desktop, Start Menu, Microsoft Word, and
Internet Explorer.
The service also lets you control another PC remotely, giving you access to
all of the files and resources of a PC from a remote location.
There is a comprehensive article about the FreedomBox network in this
month's AFB Access World.
