Is your low vision Screen Magnifier & Reader USB drive truly portable?

nospam@example.com (Namita Joshi) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 13:14:32 -0700

Is your Screen Magnifier & Reader USB drive truly portable?

I find that almost every screen magnifier and reader manufacturer offers a portable USB screen magnifier and reader in their product line. The question is what does portable mean? Does it mean a device that can be carried anywhere or does it mean a device that can be used anywhere?
We spent years perfecting a screen magnifier that can be used any where I believe that’s true portability. You can attach it to your keychain and carry it with you where ever you go. Walk up to any Windows compatible computer and plug it in. Within a few seconds, it starts up.

The best part is that none of your friends will complain about you downloading files and using their computers because when you plug out the iZoom Usb drive all data leaves with it and it does not leave any file behind.

If you want a magnification and reading software that you can carry with you everywhere, here are 3 important points to check for to get your money’s worth-
1) Does it magnify your computer screen and read it as well- There are some products that only magnify your computer screen, you will find that for the same price there are products that do both magnification and reading

2) Is your text smooth when you magnify it- After 3X magnification level the texts starts to get blocky, so test what magnification level works for you.

3) The USB Just works- Plug the Screen Magnification and Reader USB drive into a computer/laptop if you can start the magnification software without installation/any download- Its TRULY portable

Is your mouse cursor invisible when you start iZoom?

nospam@example.com () — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 09:10:55 -0700

We have received reports that some iZoom users experience an invisible mouse cursor upon starting iZoom. A quick way to fix this is to stop and start the magnification again either by clicking the Magnifier button on the iZoom Window or by pressing the shortcut key, Alt+Insert twice.

This is a temporary solution for now, Issist is currently working on a permanent fix.

Be sure to check back for the latest changes on iZoom.

5 things you should look for in a screen magnifier

nospam@example.com () — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 08:42:38 -0700

1) Text should remain clear while zooming in

Having clear text is essential when you zoom up on a page, It will help you see text more clearly.

2) Caret should track in applications like Word/Excel while typing

Caret tracking will help you keep a tab of your cursor while typing, saving you the hassle of looking for it especially on long documents.

3) Ability to read web pages / documents

When text is starting to be an eyesore, your screen magnifier software should be able to read webpages or documents for you.

4) Changing appearance of mouse

Your cursor maybe one of the hardest things to find in the real estate of your computer screen. Having the ability to change its size and color, or even put a locator on it is very important.

5) Portability

You should be able to carry your screen magnifier wherever you go since you will never know when you’ll need it. Having the option to carry it in your bags or purse, or even your pockets is a big plus when it comes to screen magnification software.
