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
