One thing I’m grateful for about Zoomtext is that you can change a lot of settings in order to make viewing the screen easier. One thing that I’ve always found easier is to have white text on a black background instead of having it the normal way around. I believe it lowers the brightness on the computer. I know I can lower the brightness on my computer, but having it as white on black is something I’ve just gotten used to and makes it easier.

Zoomtext: Three versions in one?
When I got my new computer I had to get a new version of Zoomtext since my old one was out of date. The price was lower given a few very helpful discounts (me having own a copy before and just a general discount they were doing at the time) so I got a new version of Zoomtext they created last year called Zoomtext Fusion. It’s an interesting version which is meant to help people with progressive vision loss so I thought I would try it out ((despite my vision being stable). I had it for a while and was struggling with a few bugs that were causing me trouble. One e-mail to their sales office to see what their policy on returning or trading in a version yielded something interesting. Apparently a feature I didn’t know was that you can switch between all three versions of Zoomtext (magnifier, magnifier/reader and fusion) not only is this really awesome, but switching to one of the other versions solved my issues. Fusion is a rather new program so it’s not perfect by any means. They’re still working on bug fixes and such, but for now I’m quite happy using my Zoomtext in one of the other versions. The fact that thsi feature exists is quite exciting. it means that if you thought you only needed magnifier, but find you need a reader as well you’re not stuck with not being able to have it. Or if you find the reader annoying and jst want the magnifier you don’t have to put up with having the reader there at all.
