Freedom Scientific's MAGic 12 Sets a New Standard in Screen Magnification
New Look and Feel, HD Text, Speech On Demand, and More
(St. Petersburg, Florida - October 24, 2012) - Freedom Scientific, the world
leader in assistive technology for those that are low vision or blind, today
announced the release of version 12 of its MAGic® screen magnification software.
MAGic makes it possible for computer users with macular degeneration, diabetic
retinopathy, and other causes of low vision to use a PC. It increases the size
of what a user sees on the monitor, all the way up to 36 times magnification
and can also speak out loud what's on the screen.
"This MAGic release has a simple, attractive user interface delivering the
enhancements most requested by our users," says Dusty Voorhees, Senior Product
Manager at Freedom Scientific. "The new HD Text feature smooths the letters no
matter which font or magnification level you choose - no more looking at
blocky, pixilated text as you increase magnification. The new HD mouse offers
selectable styles and continuous mouse pointer sizing that remains sharp at all
magnification levels. This new look and feel provides intuitive access to any
feature while being easy on the eyes, so users enjoy longer computing sessions
with more comfort and less fatigue."
This release is replete with unique new features that enhance productivity for
low vision users:
a.. Take full control of what MAGic says, and when it says it, with Speech On
DemandT. Using speech can reduce eye fatigue and improve efficiency, but
sometimes too much speech can be overwhelming. MAGic 12 goes far beyond a
simple on/off toggle for speech, allowing you to eliminate extra chatter. No
other screen magnification product provides this level of control over the
speech you hear.
b.. All new mouse, cursor, and color schemes make it easier for low vision
users to work in today's modern applications. Enhancements offer high-contrast,
low-glare screens and a customizable, easy-to-track mouse and cursor.
c.. Application-specific voice profiles make it very easy to select, create,
change, and save default voice settings
d.. Research It gives you quick and easy access to a wide range of
information available on the Internet, and it's available at the touch of a
button if you're using the MAGic Large Print Keyboard
e.. Navigation Quick Keys make surfing the Web and working with PDF files
more efficient. Get to where you want to be with just a key press.
f.. The Skim Reading tool gets you quickly to just the information you want

to MAGic 12 once they see its features," says Voorhees. "We want to give them
