Getting Started MAGic is a powerful software solution for vision-impaired computer users, or anyone who is required to spend extended periods of time in front of a computer screen. MAGic enlarges your favorite Microsoft Windows program screens, dialogs, and windows from 2 times to 20 times their usual size on your desktop, laptop, or notebook computer. Everything you need is available on a single user interface. MAGic offers several different magnification views: full-control panning, multiple-object tracking, screen color and size settings, configurable mouse pointers, and keyboard access to each dynamic MAGic feature.
