ZoomText
ZoomText is software that has magnification and read out loud capability. The program can magnify electronic text by as much as 36 times and can read content aloud as you work. It also can echo typing, read information pointed to by the mouse, and speak program events as they occur. This software is especially helpful for people with low vision and can help rest your eyes—keeping you free from stress headaches or blurred vision due to staring at a computer screen.
