About this resource

About

ZoomText Magnifier/Reader is produced by Vispero (formerly AI Squared) and is the most widely adopted screen magnification product for Windows. It is designed to give people with low vision full, independent access to their computer through integrated zoom, visual enhancements, and text-to-speech output.

What It Does

ZoomText magnifies the entire screen or a portion of it up to 36×, using its proprietary xFont technology to keep text sharp and readable at any zoom level. The Magnifier/Reader edition adds AppReader, DocReader, and Recorder tools that read on-screen content aloud in natural speech, making documents, emails, and websites accessible without switching to a separate screen reader. Colour filters, contrast modes, focus highlighting, and cursor enhancements allow users to tailor the display to their exact vision needs.

Who It Helps

ZoomText serves individuals with low-vision conditions including macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and other disorders that reduce visual acuity. It is widely used at home, in school, and in workplace settings where users need magnification rather than — or in addition to — full screen reading.
