HI Lizzy,This website has a good explanation of the different versions.  I think it depends on what you are looking for.  Here is the link:  https://nelowvision.com/2016/01/11/zoomtext-vs-zoomtext-fusion/Nicole

Subject: [NABS-L] Computer software for low vision users

Hi Everyone,
  My name is Lizzy and I am a high school senior who is legally blind. Due
to our current situation, all of my classes have moved online with daily
assignments. As I begin using my computer more and more I am realizing that
I should probably be using a magnification software or screen reader to
make it easier to access and not have to bend over and look so closely. I
am aware that Freedom Scientific is providing home licenses for their three
Softwares. I am wondering if anyone has recommendations on any of these
Softwares for a low vision user? I have some experience with ZoomText, but
was wondering if anyone had insight on Fusion if it was better or worse for
a low vision user or if anyone had good resources on how to best use either
of these Softwares. I have shied away from them because I haven't been able
to figure out how to use them fluidly to benefit me in the classroom.
Thank you,
Lizzy
