Hi
I support students with disabilities (technical solutions). All our
schools use Macs but our Visually Impaired students have been using
windows because they need to have access to ZoomText and Jaws.
I'd really like our students to be using MacBooks and have been
playing... ok, so we have VoiceOver instead of Jaws. Safari zooms
beautifully however, I'm stuck on zooming the whole laptop screen
(poor resolutions for low vision students). I installed Parallels and
WINXP and installed ZoomText, however that was a total failure as the
Virtual Machine couldn't handle the redrawing component.
Did some exploring and found this article on Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_independence
Sounds very promising if true! (anyone have any inside info on this??)
So, in the meantime I need a solution for my low vision students who
need to magnify the whole screen on the mac.
Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated.
I'm also jumping in the deep end with DAISY technology, could only
find one player for the Mac (KatiePlayer) however, it doesn't play
DAISY 3
Thanks in advance, Jeanette
