ZoomText Magnifier/Reader reads aloud in premium, natural sounding voices – choose from male or female voices to suit your preferences.

ZoomText offers a variety of tools for quick and easy
reading of documents, web pages and email. Each of these tools has unique characteristics that lend themselves to particular reading tasks. The AppReader automatically reads documents, web pages and email within the parent application, while ZoomText’s DocReader reads documents in a special environment where text is reformatted for easier viewing.

AppReader reads documents, web pages and email, within the parent application. As you enter and exit AppReader your view of the document does not change, providing quick and seamless transitions between document editing and reading. AppReader can automatically read through the entire document, or you can manually read by word, line, sentence or paragraph. As reading occurs, each spoken word is highlighted. AppReader settings allow you to customize the appearance of word highlighting, including the highlight shape, size, colour and transparency level.

DocReader reads documents, web pages and email, in a special environment where text is reformatted for easier viewing. Text is presented in a single line (Ticker) or wrapped lines (Prompter), with your choice of fonts, colours, word highlighting, and magnification level.

DocReader can automatically read through an entire document, or you can manually read by word, line, sentence or paragraph. As reading occurs, each spoken word is highlighted. The DocReader screen occupies the entire display with a toolbar at the top of the screen and the document text below it. The document text is formatted and displayed according to the current DocReader settings.

The ZoomText Recorder allows you to turn text from
documents, webpages, email, etc. into audio recordings that you can transfer to on your mobile device and listen to at your convenience. Recordings can be saved directly to a ZoomText Recorder playlist in iTunes or Windows Media Player and automatically synced to your mobile device. Each recording is created using your choice of ZoomText voices or any other voices available on your system.

ZoomText’s Background Reader allows you to listen to
documents, webpages, email, and more at the same time as performing other tasks. Simply select the text you want to listen to and press the Background Reader hotkey, for Background Reader to begin reading the text while you go about other work. At any time, you can pause and resume reading and skim forward and backward by word or sentence.

Full Internet Accessibility

ZoomText makes the internet accessible by reading any web page, in the proper reading order. You can read automatically or manually navigate by word, line, sentence and paragraph.

Other features include Typing Echo and Mouse Echo. With Typing Echo, each key or word that you type is automatically spoken. You can choose to have all keys spoken or only selected groups of keys.

 Mouse Echo automatically reads text beneath the mouse pointer. As you move the pointer across the screen, single words or complete lines of text are echoed. Mouse Echo is great for exploring the layout of your desktop and applications, or for spot reading in documents, web pages and email.

ZoomText has built-in support for popular applications – including Internet Explorer (IE 10 supported in ZoomText 10.1 for Windows 8), Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook; Office 2013 is supported in ZoomText
10.1), Adobe, Firefox, OpenOffice, iTunes and Java – allow you to read and navigate your documents with 100% accuracy.

ZoomText Magnifier has eight different zoom windows, allowing you to choose which part of the screen is magnified. A zoom window only displays a portion of the screen at any one time, but by scrolling its magnified contents, you can view any area of the screen.

ZoomText provides eight zoom window types: Full, Overlay, Lens, Line and four Docked positions. Each of these windows offers a unique way of viewing what is on the screen. At any time, you can switch zoom window types to accommodate a different task or application environment.

Innovative colour controls improve screen clarity and reduce eyestrain. Special effects include colour dyes, two-colour modes and replacement of problem colours.

Size and colour enhancements also make it easy to see the mouse pointer. Special locators make it easier to follow the mouse pointer and text cursor as they move across the screen.

Focus enhancements make it easy to locate and follow the control focus when you navigate through application menus, dialogs and other application controls.

Navigating your applications and scrolling the view is
always smooth and comfortable. Constrained mouse movement allows you to examine rows and columns and keeps you within the active window.

Use two monitors to expand your magnified viewing area or use the second monitor to share a magnified or unmagnified view of your desktop with another person or group.

The ZoomText Camera feature allows you to use any
high-definition (HD) webcam to view and magnify printed items and other objects right on your computer screen – including bills, magazines, photographs,
medicine labels, craft items and more.
