Hi Brian, I wish to try both forms of magnification but I have asked on a
few lists about a hot key to put on magnification but nobody has responded.
I am fairly sure that a key combination on the fly using one of the function
keys brings it up and increases it, once I try this out I will then move to
the Zoomtext but as you say a hefty price at £375 sterling.

Hello Eleanor and Richie,
Eleanor — I worked with a low-vision student who tried Zoomtext for Mac. The
student did say they liked Zoomtext’s larger mouse pointer options and that
Zoomtext did a better job of keeping the cursor in focus, but this student
decided the extra features provided beyond what comes built into OSX’s Zoom
functions were not worth the price. YMMV of course, and I’m interested to
hear your opinion after you’ve tried the demo.
Richie — There is a version of Zoomtext Magnifier for the Mac. Info at this

HTH,
Bryan

Anyone on this list using Zoomtext on their Mac? I am interested in
obtaining a copy and running it in Demo mode but would like to find out
first how people find it. Perhaps there is another screen magnifier
other than the in-built one that people are using.
