Right now, I'm using Jaws 18 and Magic 14 at a very high magnification. Magic allows me to see what I am writing in emails and in word. It tracks the cursor. I have it set for light colored letters on a dark background. Basically, I'm depending on Jaws. But Magic really helps as a backup. Perhaps Zoomtext and Jaws work better together at lower magnifications.

I had been planning to switch from MAGic & JAWS to Fusion next month. 6 or 7 years ago I was using Zoomtext and began using JAWS at that time but had to give it up as the two programs fought with each other. Freedom Scientific told me at the time that all my problems would be solved if I ditched Zoomtext and went to MAGic. My problems were far less with MAGic. I may have to think about my decision to switch to Fusion. George George A.

I also mostly use JAWS, but do have a very small amount of vision and sometimes need to use ZoomText magnified at a very high level. I installed Fusion last weekend, and for a day or so, it seemed to work ok except that ZoomText didn't appear to be tracking as I was typing text, which I thought Fusion was supposed to do well. Then JAWS started saying something different from the keys I would press, such as control-alt-tab when I pressed alt-tab. Also, it would double speak the letters I was typing, i.e. saying "A A" when I typed an "A". For now I am running the components of Fusion, JAWS 18 and ZoomText 11, together, but as the separate programs, not the Fusion program. If I try to run fusion, not only do I have the keyboard issues I described, but it becomes so slow as to be unusable. My understanding was that Fusion was a combination of JAWS 18 and Zoomtext 11, so I don't understand why running the two individual programs together works, but if I run Fusion, it is not working correctly.

I rarely use the magnification portion and use the JAWS part of Fusion almost exclusively. I made the switch to learn what, if any, the benefits would be compared to JAWS and MAGic. As far as I can tell, the JAWS component of Fusion is simply JAWS, so I would like to ask what part of Fusion you might require assistance with. Of course, I am by no means an expert with the magnification component of Fusion, but it is worth the asking.
