[Trainer-talk] totally blind trainer, training to use ZoomText

[Peg Jolene]

Hello Listers:

ZoomText Magnifier  Screen Reader is extremely well done. I have  
successfully trained others on it. In many instances, I have used the  
speech features where neither JAWS or Window-Eyes did  not work. IN my  
IT work, I have found this to be quite  useful. Using the visual  
features of ZoomText has more to do with understanding the functional  
aspects of vision. Most of the tasks can be accomplished with the  
keyboard, though there are visual toolbars and buttons when using the  
mouse. The various reading aplications and WebFinder options work  
well. My experience is that the screen reader portion of ZoomText is  
more on the level of System Access or the Mac's VoiceOver, rather than  
JAWS or Window-Eyes. Hope this helps.
