I was using zoomtext for about 15 years but moved away from it after Microsoft introduced fullscreen magnififers in their operating systems. I loved the feature set but as an it-professional Zoomtext is unusable. It lacks proper support for most applications I need and last time I installed a trial it refused to run with Google Chrome.
ZoomText is a stand-alone piece of software [1] designed for visually impaired people.[2] It is available for the currently released and supported versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. The program allows you to see and hear everything on the computer screen [3] as well as providing access to applications, documents, email and the Internet.[4] The software can help individuals with ‘early vision loss, computer vision syndrome, and visual impairments such as macular degeneration and glaucoma’.[5] ZoomText has dual monitor support and is capable of magnifying the screen up to 60 times; it also allows you to choose which part of the screen is magnified. Text definition is maintained to preserve legibility. Color controls help improve the clarity of the screen and mouse pointers can be resized. It also provides enhanced navigation capabilities to help the user to launch programs and find documents on the desktop and find the hypertext links and controls on web pages, find words or phrases. In Windows Vista, magnification and screen reader support is enabled at the log on stage.[6]
