About this resource

About

ZoomText, developed by Vispero, is the world's leading screen magnification solution for people with low vision. Continuously refined for over three decades, it is widely deployed in workplaces, educational institutions, and homes across more than 40 countries.

What It Does

ZoomText enlarges everything on the Windows screen from 1× to 36×, using xFont® technology to keep text sharp and readable at any zoom level. Users can select from multiple magnification views, apply custom colour filters, adjust contrast and brightness, and configure focus-tracking to follow the mouse, cursor, or keyboard. An optional integrated text-to-speech reader speaks documents, menus, and web content aloud.

Who It Helps

ZoomText is designed for people with low vision who need to enlarge on-screen content to complete everyday computer tasks. It supports users with conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and other visual impairments that affect comfortable computer use.
