[Trainer-Talk] Zoom text Fusion or MAGIC

I agree with David. While Window-Eyes does work in conjunction with Fusion, I don't feel recommending Window-Eyes as a general rule is a good idea. Primarily because of the lacking support for web page navigation that NVDA and JAWS offer. If, for some reason, the client can't afford JAWS in the future, many of the keyboard shortcuts transfer over to NVDA.

Best of luck,
Scott

I am in the stages of trying to move the low vision clients at my center from Zoom Text to MAGic, in order to save them extra training down the road if they lose more of their vision, so if I were you I would definitely consider making the switch on her behalf while she is still on the front end of training.

She is currently using zoom text, but is quite new added, and has not learned much about how to control it. The skills would be transferable. She has a lot of trouble with three key keyboard shortcuts. Thank you.
