[Publib] Zoomtext

[SIMINITUS, JACQUELYN E (ATTPB)]

I checked with my friend, Jane Tong, who developed the content for the
tutorial, "Discovering Assistive Technology",
http://DiscoveringAT.blogsopt.com .  Jane echoes your good words, Rob.

	"Yes, I have.  Zoomtext is a wonderful AT software program that
has been
	providing access to computers for persons with low vision for
many years. 
	I highly recommend the product.- jane at transaccess.org"

Yes,
Zoomtext software is a wonderful program.  I purchased it some time back
when I worked in IT, for our public computers.  We had it on two
workstations in our main library and one at each of our branch
locations. It has an excellent voice synthesizer (you can change the
speed and tone) and quite a lot of functionality.  I was very impressed
and so were my visually impaired patrons.  I purchased ZoomText through
Universal Low Vision Aids, Inc.  The website is www.ulva.com.  The
customer service was excellent.
Good Luck.

That should be for replacing JAWS, not Dragon Naturally Speaking. My 
apologies.
