[blindlaw] Re paper docs at a hearing

[Susan Kelly]

Shannon -

It is Magnify HD - I think it has an iPhone version as well, but because
I wanted something I could use without sound (if possible) and which
gave me  a (MUCH) bigger view, the iPad version is the one I picked.
It's like a huge video magnifier / portable CCTV.  SO far, so good...the
usual slight off-set that any portable video magnifier will have, but
fairly easy to compensate for.

Susan,
What is the name of the program that you are using on the ipad?
What does it do for you?
Can it be run on an iphone?
Thank you
Shannon
