Oh, I'm not talking about the demo version. I have played around with
the trial version here for a bit without ever activating a freedom
box trial account and system access ran in 20-minute demo mode.
I was asking about the full version of access like the version that
comes on a usb stick. i have no intention or interst to suscribe to
the freedombox network but am looking for a screen access solution
that is portable and easy to use and works on all version of widnows.
system access promises to do just that and I was wondering if one
spent the US$395 or US$595 for the passkey or usb drive version, if
system access would continue to work as a standlone screenreader and
not just in demo mode. I don't care about upgrades at tthis point and
of course if upgrades are not paid for, I wouldn't expect to get them
just as I don't expect FS to pass out free full upgrades to their product. <g>
It's just cool that System Access works without need for a wideo
hook. If Microslop had done a decent job on Narrator, Narrator could
be doing the same thing.
Thanks much.

I am a little late getting in on this thread.
I would like to know if System Access can be used as a screenreader independent of a current account with the Freedom Box network, i.e. will system access continue to function as a screenereader once the subscription to Freedom Box has expired?
Thanks much.

Yes, Ted, and it's one of the reasons I'm probably not going to buy into the Freedom Box thing, nice as it is in many ways.
It seems to happen when I'm trying to do several things at a time and memory is a bit short. But I've had freeze-ups with System Access that are more serious, and that's a real put-=off, or even off-put.
