I was a long-time Magic (with speech) user until I upgraded to Windows
7 and upgraded to the latest version of Magic, and began to have terrible
problems that often made me want to tear my hair out. I sent many a teary
email to Freedom Scientific but nobody could figure out what was happening.
Happily, last December I downloaded the trial version of Zoomtext (with
speech) and found that I preferred Zoomtext to Magic, and not just because
of the incompatibility problems I'd been having. I decided I'd rather switch
than fight, so I did, although I still use an old version of Magic with my
elderly - but still faithful - XP desktop. French pronunciation is terrible,
though (grin).

Good luck,

Carrie in Paris
