But that isn't what he asked. System Access isn't a traditional screen  
reader. Moreover, there is no customization as such; System Access  
uses the built-in accessibility in Windows, and anyway, you can't  
configure it to work with stuff it doesn't work with. Actually, System  
Access to Go is essentially the same as System Access, except it's run  
remotely over an Internet connection. But it is far from a traditional  
screen reaer, though no less useful for that.
