The program that people are incorrectly referring to as "access" is actually called Readit. It's a DOS program that works well with all screen access. It can be gotten from simtel or in the extras directory on most Kurzweil CD-roms. Don't worry, DOS software in the extras directory is free to legally copy and use. As for continuous reading, my Dectalk express with just Cat seems to work quite well reading continuously. Of course, it's hard to stop and find your place; something Rita will fix for you. I've found that one way to get through a ton of documentation is to attach an FM transmitter to a mixer, then plug all your sound sources in to the mixer. This way I can listen to my sound card output, my hardware synthes and my ham radio and even my VCR while I do housework and garden. --Debee
