ZoomText - Screen Magnification Software

ZoomText is Windows based accessibility software designed to help people with low vision or visual impairments use a computer more comfortably and effectively. It combines powerful screen-magnification tools with optional speech capabilities, enabling users to enlarge, enhance, and read on-screen content — including documents, web pages, email, and application interfaces — so they can “see” and “hear” everything on their desktop even if they struggle with standard display sizes or contrast.

ZoomText Software Features:

• ZoomText can magnify the entire screen (or parts of it) up to 60 times, and offers different “zoom window” types to suit single or multi-monitor setups
• ZoomText lets you enlarge and recolor the mouse pointer and text cursor, add focus rectangles, and more, making it easier to track where you are on screen
• In its Magnifier/Reader version, ZoomText can read aloud documents, web pages, emails, or whatever’s under the mouse pointer — including echoing typed text or mouse movement — helpful for people who benefit from auditory feedback
• ZoomText uses advanced smoothing (e.g. geometric or font smoothing) plus color/contrast enhancements to keep text crisp and legible even when heavily magnified
• ZoomText supports viewing multiple applications or different parts of an application simultaneously, which helps maximize the usable workspace even when magnifying
