No, Zoom is for magnifying the screen; but Magnifier allows you to use the phone like a hand-held magnifier. It has a slider to go from 1x to 15x, and you can adjust the color filters, invert colors, do a freeze frame shot, lock the focus; much like many costly hand-helds. Richard

A few years ago I tried a couple phone apps for magnification, but could not figure any out. I was listening to a couple Blind Bargains podcasts from CSUN talking about products that work with an iPad and claim to be a terrific video magnifier system, but the price tags were two to three thousand dollars. Am I missing something? I’m not shelling out that kind of money and even only got the SenseView because it was a close out of a demo model. I don’t need magnification as much as the ability to reverse color schemes to light print on a dark background. Anything out there worth considering or do I just stick with OCR? Probably the main reason I use a video magnifier is when the formatting is not conducive to OCr, such as in a cookbook, or the back of a box where I’m trying to find a recipe.
