| Description: | 1.25 times to 36 times magnification with .5 increments, screen reading in 15 languages with xFont smoothing and colour options |
| Purpose: | This program is not just suitable for those who require considerable magnification with speech when working on computers due to their visual difficulties but it may also benefit those with scotopic sensitivity and various types of visual perceptual difficulties as it has such a wide selection of colour settings with hue and saturation options as well as speech output where required. There are also many ways of masking and shading text to aid tracking. |
| Features: | ZoomText Magnifier/ScreenReader allows for typed text to be echoed with NeoSpeech voices as well as having text read by the point of the mouse and automatic document reading with various verbosity settings. The AppReader will provide text to speech within other applications such as Adobe Acrobat. Other features are the same as the magnification only version of this program such as flexible magnification levels with 7 different zoom windows and all-colour smoothing that allows for text in any colour to look clear cut rather than pixelated using xFont technologies. Background colours can be changed to help prevent glare but provide good contrast levels and settings can be adapted to suit different applications. Pointers and cursors can be changed independently both for size and colour and areas can be frozen on the screen whilst the user is working on another part. Desktop and web finder are separate facilities that help with searching and working with files and links. In Windows XP, the AppReader will highlight PDF documents opened in Adobe Reader. The latest update works with a series of CCTVs to show images and text alongside computer based work - please check Ai-Squared website for the list.of compatible electronic magnifiers. There is a USB pen drive version (£646.25 inc VAT). |
| System Requirements: | Windows '98 or above inc Vista and Microsoft Office 2007 - latest update works with Internet Explorer 7/8 Dual Monitor Support is available in Windows Vista and XP only. ZoomText 9.1 64-bit Version is now available for Vista. |
