 **System Access to Go** 

 Satogo (System Access to go) is a free online screen-reading program for the blind and visually impaired that operates very similarly to the popular JAWS screen-reading program. Satogo is an easy download to any computer and operates similar to a "plug-in" sort of program in that it does not require installation to a computer's hard drive and removes itself after the user has finished using it. Users have the option of saving their settings (voice, reading speed, etc.) via an online user name and password that is portable to any computer that has internet access. There is also the option to install the program on a computer's hard drive which will allow a user instant access to the program. Satogo also offers a screen magnification feature that is similar to the Zoomtext screen magnifying program. The Jacksonville Public Library allows users to access Satogo and create a username and password on any of our public use computers but does not allow for the complete installation of the program. You can access Satogo at the following website: [|satogo.com/]

 The installation of SystemAccess on a computer is only aloud if the user is taking part in a trial of the program or if they are a paid user. SAToGo is a free service that can be used to have accessibility on the go via the World Wide Web (a feature that is offered by no other adaptive technology company).  For people that do want to install the product on a personal computer or even just take it around with them on a thumb drive, SystemAccess can be obtained for as little as $9.95 per month with no Software Maintenance agreements ever.

** Video Remote Interpreting ** (VRI) uses video devices or [|web cameras] to provide [|sign language] or spoken language interpreting services, through a remote or offsite interpreter, in order to communicate with persons with whom there is a communication barrier. It is similar to a slightly different service, [|Video Relay Service], where the two parties are each located in different places. 

====Interpretype®, also known as an ITY™, is a communication system that provides "Universal Access to Conversation." ====


 * Text messaging between devices to enable non-signing hearing people to communicate with people that are a Deaf, Hard of Hearing or Speech Disabled. The system is also capable of translating text based conversations from English to/from Spanish or French.


 * Streaming Video and internet telephone connections allow remote video interpreted conversations between hearing and Deaf individuals. Video also enables Deaf individuals to call other Deaf or hearing people using Video Relay Services.


 * Internet Telephones provide instant access to remote translators enabling translated conversation between English and 240 foreign languages.

====Interpretype is used by organizations to make their services and career opportunities more accessible. It levels the playing field when necessary qualities for face-to-face dialog are lacking; such as hearing, speech, or language comprehension. Interpretype has proven value in Education, Courts, Career/Employment Centers, Restaurants, Hospitals, Libraries, Airports and other Business and Public Accommodations. It is intuitively easy to use, requiring only basic keyboard skills and the ability to understand a common written language. ====

====<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; vertical-align: baseline;">Customers like Interpretype because it lowers communication barriers that arise due to hearing or speech related issues. And, its optional Language Translation Program assures language comprehension by translating, in real time, conversations between Spanish or French speaking people and English speaking people. ====
