Screen Magnification

Screen Magnification

A screen magnification program enlarges the image on screen. It is useful to magnify the text and graphics on the screen for users who require large text and graphics. Most magnification programs have variable magnification levels (from 2 times to 16 times). Some have split-screen viewing of magnified and unmagnified windows. Most magnification programs have a review or scroll function so text can be tracked easily and at appropriate speed. Examples of screen magnification are ZoomText (PC) and InLarge (Mac).
