Contrary to our philosophy of always offering the client the choice of two manufacturers or publishers, when it comes to screen magnification software we have chosen just one publisher. This does however admittedly come in two variations. The publisher is Ai Squared and the product 'ZoomText'.
Although originally only a screen magnifier, for some years now ZoomText has been available in an enhanced version which included a degree of synthetic speech output. The two variations of ZoomText were initially known as "Level 1" and "Level 2" but in more recent years have been renamed "ZoomText Magnifier" and "ZoomText Magnifier/Reader".
The latest version of ZoomText is a feature-rich, highly efficient and effective screen access solution but remains simple enough for the novice PC user to get started without the need for intensive training.
The 'xFont' Advanced Text Magnification of ZoomText 9 now Displays the clearest magnified text possible at all magnification levels and the inclusion of the 'NeoSpeech' Synthesizer adds amazing human-like speech output.
We monitor the development of competing screen magnification products on an ongoing basis and we're confident that ZoomText remains the most effective screen access solution for people with low vision.
Located in the heart of Vermont's green mountains in the picturesque village of Manchester Centre, Ai Squared has grown over some 18 years from a one-man operation into a team dedicated to providing accessibility solutions for all low-vision PC users. The company's flagship product, ZoomText, is the world's most popular magnification program for people who are partially sighted. Ai Squared prides itself on delivering the highest quality software products and superior technical support.
ZoomText 9.1 delivers innovative magnification and reading features that allow low-vision computers users to see, hear and use their computer with greater comfort and productivity. With the clearest text, clearest voices, and now twice the magnified view, ZoomText 9.1 is the clear choice! The following is the list of the powerful features introduced in ZoomText 9.1 and 9.0:
• New Dual Monitor Support.
ZoomText’s new dual monitor support allows you to utilize two monitors to “expand your magnified view”. At any magnification level you can now have twice as much information in view at all times. You can also use the second screen to share a magnified or unmagnified view of your desktop with another person or group. Note: Dual Monitor Support is available in Windows Vista and XP only.
• New Focus Enhancements.
The new Focus enhancement feature makes it easy to locate and follow the control focus when you tab and arrow key through menus, dialogs, tool bars, and other application controls. When a control has focus, a bright, colourful rectangle or underline is placed around or under the control, making selection of controls much clearer.
• Support for Windows Vista. ZoomText 9.1 offers robust support for the
new Windows Vista operating system, allowing you to take advantage of Vista’s improved security, stability and of course, it’s fresh, eye-catching user experience.
• New Windows Vista Logon Support. ZoomText's new logon support provides
essential magnification and screen reading features when logging into Windows Vista.
• Support for Microsoft Office 2007. ZoomText 9.1 is ready for the new
look and feel of Office 2007. In Word, Excel and Outlook, all of the new user interface components are tracked and spoken with the clarity you’ve come to expect in previous versions of Office.
• Support for Adobe Acrobat 8 and Adobe Reader 8. ZoomText's reading
tools, including AppReader and DocReader, allow you to create and read documents in the latest releases of Acrobat and Reader.
• Support for Mozilla Firefox 2.0. ZoomText offers advanced support for
Firefox 2.0, allowing you to accurately navigate and read complete web pages. In addition, you can use ZoomText’s Web Finder and Text Finder to quickly locate the links, controls and text that you’re interested in.
• New Screen Enhancement Schemes.
Additional schemes have been added to each of ZoomText's screen enhancement options.
• New Inverted Block Locator Type. A new type of view locator that
provides greater emphasis on the area that's currently being magnified, making it easier to select a new area to zoom in on.
• New Cursor Enhancement Sample Box The Cursor Enhancement dialog now
includes a sample box to help you select a cursor enhancement scheme or select custom cursor settings.
New in ZoomText 9.0
• xFont Technology.
With our new xFont technology, you'll see amazingly clear text at all magnification levels. All types and sizes of text are displayed with unmatched clarity, in all of your applications. Once you've seen ZoomText 9.0 with xFont, no other screen magnifier will do.
• Human Quality Speech.
With our new NeoSpeech synthesizers, your applications and documents are read aloud by friendly, human-sounding voices. Sit back and rest your eyes while ZoomText reads your documents, web pages and email. We think you'll agree that NeoSpeech is a total pleasure to listen to.
• Application Settings.
Application Settings give ZoomText the intelligence to adjust settings on the fly whenever you switch applications. Just save the settings you like for each application and ZoomText restores them automatically.
• Text Finder.
The new Text Finder makes it easy to locate words and phrases in any program or document window. Type what you're looking for and ZoomText finds it in an instant.
• Reading Zones.
And with ZoomText's new Reading Zones, you can quickly see and hear selected locations in any application - a real timesaver that eliminates aimless scrolling.
• Enhanced Magnification Levels.
To round out the new 9.0 features, we've dropped in additional magnification levels. New 2.5x magnification is sure to satisfy users who have said "2x is not enough and 3x is just too much". And for our high magnification users that are migrating to super high resolution screens, we've extended ZoomText's magnification from 16x all the way to 36x.
ZoomText Anywhere, Anytime!
Computers have become ever-present in our lives, and so has our need to access and use computers everywhere we go… at home, at school, at work, even in libraries and other public facilities. To make ZoomText readily available to individuals that need it, Ai Squared has introduced “ZoomText USB” – ZoomText on a USB flash drive that users can conveniently carry with them and use at any time.
Now with ZoomText USB, you can install and run ZoomText whenever and wherever you need to (with administrative privileges), without having to purchase additional licensing or activate each installation of the software. This makes ZoomText both convenient and inexpensive for both individuals and organizations, and faster to deploy in network environments. Once ZoomText has been installed on a system, ZoomText will automatically start up each time you plug in the USB drive – activated and ready to use.
ZoomText USB provides the following important key benefits:
• Access on any computer
With ZoomText USB you can plug in and run ZoomText on any system without having to purchase additional licensing.
• Portable and always within reach
The ZoomText USB drive fits in your pocket or around your neck (on the included lanyard), so it’s always with you when you need it.
• Easy to use
Just plug in the ZoomText USB drive and ZoomText automatically starts up. If ZoomText is not installed, the friendly setup program is launched and you will be up and running in minutes.
• Plug-and-Play license management
Since the serial number is tied to the ZoomText USB drive, there are no serial numbers or license activations to worry about.
• Take your settings with you
Your personalized ZoomText configuration settings are saved to your USB drive and are automatically loaded each time you plug in and start ZoomText.
• Single User and Multi User Pricing Options Choose the version best suited for you or your organization.

A ZoomText Site License permits an organization to share ZoomText software amongst multiple users at a single facility. Site licenses are provided in five user increments, ranging from 5 to any multiple of 5 users, with each five user pack containing a single set of software and documentation. If ZoomText users within the organization are not all located at a single facility, a district license must be purchased instead of a site license. The organization must complete and return the site license agreement (included in the Site Starter Pack) to Ai Squared before using the software. The software may only be installed and used on computer systems owned by the organization used at a single facility. This includes a single business location or a single campus, but does not include multiple business locations or separate campuses. A ZoomText District License permits an organization to use multiple copies of ZoomText in multiple locations. The district license is provided in five user increments, with each five user pack containing 5 complete sets of software and documentation. If all ZoomText users within the organization are located in the same facility, a Site License may be purchased instead of a District License.
