MAGic®
8.0 Screen Magnification with Speech
now supports Windows XP
Now
released. English only download for authorized users
_______________________________________________________
(St. Petersburg, FL -
July 12, 2002) — Freedom Scientific has released
its MAGic 8.0 Screen Magnification with Speech software that now supports
Windows XP Home or Professional operating systems, complementing this feature-rich
product. Authorized users of MAGic 8.0 can download the English only version
from this Web site.
MAGic 8.0 provides
a superior magnification solution in home, business and educational environments,
and it is compatible with the world's most popular screen reader JAWS®
for Windows, and now with Microsoft's latest operating system.
MAGic 8.0 helps people
with low vision view information on their computer screen while hearing
it through their speech synthesizer. MAGic 8.0 combines state-of-the-art
magnification features with a true low vision speech option. The software
magnifies screen information, from two times to 16 times its normal size.
The smoothing feature eliminates jagged edges caused by bitmapping when
images or characters are magnified on the screen.
With the speech option,
MAGic 8.0 gives users the ability to choose information they want read
from a computer screen as they navigate applications. MAGic reads the
information aloud as users move the mouse over existing text and hear
it, navigate a document or type. The speech option is particularly helpful
when listening to entire paragraphs, email or lengthy documents on the
Internet. You can use magnification and speech together or independently.
The easy to understand
color-coded user interface, and hot keys that avoid conflicts with Windows®
and other software applications make learning the application easy.
A version of MAGic
8.0 without the speech option is available.
To order, please contact
your local dealer, or call Freedom Scientific at 1-800-444-4443 or 1-727-803-8000.
