Freedom
Scientific Introduces MAGic®
Pro Scripting Edition
50 Percent Discount on Upgrades - Extended through September 30,
2007
(St. Petersburg,
Florida – April 16, 2007) Freedom Scientific today announced
the availability of a significant upgrade to its MAGic Screen Magnification
Software. The newly-released MAGic Pro Scripting Edition is
the world’s
first screen magnification software that allows users to write their
own scripts to modify its operation in any application, providing greater
usability.
Now through September 30, 2007 — the
MAGic Pro Scripting Edition upgrade can be purchased for
just $200 by users of MAGic 10.x Professional or Standard with speech
(a savings
of 50 percent) or just $400 by users of MAGic 10.x Professional or
Standard with no speech (a savings of $250).
“Scripting,
the foundation that makes JAWS® the most powerful screen reading
technology in the world, is now available in Freedom Scientific’s
MAGic screen magnification application,” said Dusty Voorhees,
senior product manager. “The new MAGic Pro Scripting
Edition opens up new opportunities by providing a whole new level
of customization
to our users, presenting them with a greater level of access to any
program.”
The key benefits of scripting
offered through the MAGic Pro Scripting
Edition include:
- Increased productivity by providing single command functions
to carry out complicated multi-step processes
- Significantly increased
ease of use by creating key- or event-driven
command functions
to carry out complicated multi-step processes
- Improved functionality
added to any application by creating your own custom features
- Enhanced access to non-standard applications
The
scripting functions traditionally used by JAWS have been expanded
to provide new functions for directing visual focus and utilizing
MAGic-specific features. The thousands of scripts previously written
for JAWS can easily be modified to include MAGic functionality.
The MAGic Pro Scripting
Edition is a version of the MAGic screen magnification
product, including speech, authorization for remote access using
terminal services and Citrix, and the Freedom Scientific Script Manager
with
full scripting language.
Both creating and running
custom scripts require MAGic Pro Scripting
Edition authorization. Once authorized, users can create, run, and
share scripts with other
MAGic Pro Scripting
Edition users. Users with the current authorized version of MAGic
10.5 can easily upgrade to the MAGic Pro Scripting
Edition through Internet License Management (ILM). Once authorization
is updated, the new functionality will be immediately available for
use.

Scientific Web site.
Freedom Scientific also
announced that MAGic 11.0 will be released and available in coming
weeks. All new purchasers of MAGic since April
2, 2007, will be entitled to MAGic 11.0 once it is released. MAGic
11.0 is required to run MAGic in Windows Vista™.
