Does SuperNova offer the same features in terms of magnification compared to MAGic or ZoomText? I have no useful vision so can't test this. I just recall, when navigating the MAGic user interface, as well as read the MAGic documentation, that the screen can be magnified up to 36 times, a new feature apparently in MAGic 11.0. Other features include colour enhancements, focus enhancements, mouse enhancements, different kinds of "views", quick frames, and I think that's it for the magnification features. I'm not at my own laptop so can't really recall what other features are included, however if you go to the MAGic pages on www.freedomscientific.com, and perhaps download the demo, you can see for yourself what MAGic can offer. Another good note; if you have JAWS, MAGic will actually work alongside JAWS. How it works is JAWS provides speech whilst MAGic provides the magnification. So, for example, when JAWS is reading a web page, MAGic will highlight the part JAWS reads, and will be synchronized. Anyway, hope this all helps.

I use Supernova magnification and find it absolutely excellent. It has the addition of a speech screen reader. In the past I have used Magic which is excellent too. I would not know how to compare them though because all I want is a certain level of magnification and when once set it works great. Also used Zoomtext in the past but it would not be my screen reader of choice currently as I rely on a lot more speech than Zoomtext offers.Eleanor----- Original Message ----- From: "brendan" <red.alert@xxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 4:53 PM Subject: [access-uk] magnification for computerHi Folk,I am writing on behalf of a friend who would like a magnification programme for her computer.
