[blindlaw] Zoomtext

[Susan Kelly]

My office recently changed the magnification program on my computer from MAGic to ZoomText.  I also use JAWS.  I have experienced all of the problems that you are describing, on a frequent basis, despite the fact that another attorney on a different portion of the county network reportedly having no problems.  The IT department recently spent two days testing and tweaking the programs, with assistance from both vendors, with little or no improvement.  My computer has a high memory capacity, so that may not be the issue that you might think....

Does anyone else use Zoomtext.   I still have some central vision and I have been attempting to have Zoomtext installed on my work computer.  The program worked Alright during the trial, but now that my employer has purchased I'm having problems.  We use a program called Oracle for our electronic files. Exhibits are contained in Oracle as PDF's.  When I am running Zoomtext Adobe freezes up most of the time I try and open a document.  Explorer, Outlook, and Word are also freezing on occasion.  The problems got worse after my office installed a new a Microsoft Office suite.   I'm no IT person, but I think this is a problem with the processing memory of the computer itself.   Otherwise, it has to be a comparability issue with Oracle. Our IT department is painfully slow, and I have now been without Zoomtext for about six months.  Any suggestions?
