I am a demanding user, now 63 YO, working at a new job in new industry, and have been using ZoomText for 15 years. I'm not really sure why it's so much better, maybe it's the smoothness? And how cleanly it zooms in when using a touchpad (because it zooms exactly with your finger rather than snapping to set levels).

One thing I have noticed though, whenever I use a Mac, I enjoy using the built on zoom on macOS much more than the one on Windows or ZoomText. And if I need to use a laptop or something, the built in Windows magnifier is sufficient. Ultimately, the solution I found best for me is to have a monitor arm so I can pull my monitor close to me, and maybe making some things bigger. I'm very near sighted, so getting closer to the screen is always MUCH clearer than looking at a zoomed in image from a foot away. Its harder to navigate when zoomed in so much, you'd have to constantly zoom in and out to know your place, and it's a real pain having to move your mouse back and fourth to read a web page. I will try out the new versions when they get released, but ultimately there are just too many negatives.ДЄs other comments have said, it really bogs down your PC, and overall just feels clunky.

I've been legality blind my whole life, and have never been able to use ZoomText full time.

Ps: I donвЂ™t get to decided who gets what software, I just go out and install it/assist the person with getting started. I am reaching out because I know some of the people I give it out to are hesitant to tell us if they donвЂ™t like it or donвЂ™t want to use it anymore. I donвЂ™t push people to use anything if they are uncomfortable with it but I would like some input from other users as to what would make it easier to use or learn and what I as a sighted technician can do to help new users. Sometimes they are very resistant to it but it often helps a lot. I encourage people to use the voice echo.

Being fully sighted and having worked with the program for a long time IвЂ™m able to navigate and set up zoomtext configurations well but I figured IвЂ™d ask other users what the most difficult part of using zoomtext is? If I know that maybe it would help me showing people how to use it.

When we give it to college students or young adults they can navigate it well but usually uninstall it later because they find it annoying or not helpful. IвЂ™ve noticed that about 30% of the people we give zoomtext to significantly struggles with it, usually the elders. I work in the assistive tech dept at a non-profit agency servicing people who are legally blind. r/Blind/about/moderators Subreddits you may like: Responsible for the CSS design and subreddit's Twitter. u/SophiaDevetzi: KC patient and community manager of Keratoconus Group. u/fastfinge ( Twitter, Facebook): Bitcoin lover, science fiction reader, freelancer, and fanfiction fanatic from the colds of Canada. r/Blind was a dream of mine over a decade ago and I'm happy to hit 15k a month now and over half million views every couple months. 2nd is that we want to become the trailblazers showing the ropes to new members and also create a sГ©ance of community.
