Hi Graham,
The other useful thing is CSAW. This is Community Supported Access to the
Web, or something like that. It is really cool, because when someone labels
graphics on a web page, as soon as they submit the labels, every copy of
System Access automatically downloads the new graphics label. You can see
this in action on amazon.co.uk and amazon.com. Amazon has traditionally
some weird links, but system access and freedombox works with Amazon better
than any otherscreen reader, including Window-Eyes, and you all know how
much I love Window-Eyes <Smile>.
All the best

so, apart from audio described movies which are quite good but you would
need to watch a real load to make it worth £12 a month, is there anything
else of use to others? Does the shopping facility work outside the states?
do the TV guides work outside the US?
I only ask because I already have JAWS which is good enough as a
screenreader for my needs. I would like to play with system access for a
while but don't really want to pay the monthly fee if the FreedomBox service
is really aimed at those in the US.
Cheers
Graham

Hi Graham,
For me, Freedombox, which is the service you are talking about, is worth it,
just for the audio described movies. But there's a lot more to it, in that
it has one of the best RSS readers I have come across. You can literally
create your own newspaper. The other good thing is, because it is a
virtually no graphics environment, I can log in with my cellphone if I am on
the train.
Before anyone jumps on me, yes, I do sell the system, but I am talking from
my point of view as a user this time.
All the best

Hi all.
I know that System Access is available on a key that you can buy. I also
understand that you can get the program if you pay $12.99 or something like
that a month. I believe for that you get access to various web channels,
shopping guides, tv guides and the like.
Is the extra service part worth having in the UK or is it mainly american
sites?
I know they say on the site that the thing is world wide but, in the US,
this too often means US wide in a World Series baseball sort of way.
Cheers
Graham
