AI SQUARED ZOOMTEXT 10 UPGRADE
While this is nice, I won't upgrade for this feature because I don't think it would benefit me if my vision is getting worse down the road. The magnifier tab looks the same but has more finer magnification granularities for the lower magnification range. I am happy with Win 7 and have no plan to move to Win 10, so the additional Window OS support has no value to me.Īfter completing the installation and restarting the PC, you would see the ZT Fusion 10.1 tool bar which is very similar to the ZT 1Magnifier/Reader 10 tool bar but with an additional tab labeled Fusion. Oh, ZT Fusion supports Window 7, Window 8.1 and Window 10, it also support touch screen. If you can't see the screen, you might not know what's going on. There was a progress bar on the screen but no audio feedback during this component installation.
AI SQUARED ZOOMTEXT 10 INSTALL
It took about 5 minutes to install all the software components. The setup wizard would run as part of the installation, you can choose to run the wizard or choose the default setting. If you choose the default setting, you can change the setting later. If you enable voice, you would hear what button or options on the screen. There is a tool bar to change font size and enable or disable voice at the top of each installation screen. I noticed the installation process has been improved. I had to stop the anti virus program in order to continue. During ZT Fusion installation, Avast anti virus program thought one of the file was a virus and stopped the installation. There is no need to uninstall ZT 10 to run the trial software. This PC already had ZT Magnifier/Reader 10 installed on it. I installed the trial software in a laptop PC running Windows 7 Professional.

I have to give ZT Fusion a try so I downloaded the free 60-day trial before deciding whether to spend the money to upgrade. ZT Fusion is supposedly easier to use, especially for those who already familiar with the ZT Magnifier/Reader, that's me. I have tried JAWS and NVDA screen readers but found them hard to use because of all those hard to remember hotkey shortcut. With my continue worsening vision, I have been looking into a full time screen reader for awhile. Unlike the screed reader that was in the ZoomText Magnifier/Reader 10, the Window-Eyes screen reader in the ZT Fusion has lot more capabilities. This product seems to target people with progressive vision loss, such as those with retinitis pigmentosa, to transition seamlessly from magnifier to a full time screen reader. This is a ZT magnifier integrated with Window-Eyes 9.2. The latest product from AI Squared is called ZoomText Fusion 10.1.
