[stylist] ZT vs Magic

[Robert Leslie Newman]

IN Nebraska, where I worked for the Commission for the blind for 37 years,
we found that most people liked and did better with zoomText. (Not always,
but it was percentage wise much higher on the purchase list for us than
magic.)

Matic can't touch zoomtext.

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
