Magnify OutLoud New Screenreader
Published: Jun 20, 2007The US-based Colligo Corporation introduced the Magnify OutLoud screenreader that magnifies the screen and read emails and websites. Magnify OutLoad is a new addition to the solutions for people with a visual impairment or with dyslexia.
“The Computer - While some non-computer users are hesitant to take on this relatively new technology, seniors of all ages have also embraced it. The computer becomes a communication tool for emailing friends and family, a window to the world through reading on the Internet, a financial management and check-writing aid. Databases and word processors have all become friendlier tools in common usage. While the standard size font and display may not be visible with low vision, there are a variety of methods to make the computer into a reading and writing aid for those with visual disabilities,” states The University of Toronto’s Vision Technology Service.Â

“There is no software learning curve as Magnify OutLoud uses simple functions built into a keyboard, such as a sliding bar to zoom the text and keystrokes to hear the text,” according to Colligo Corporation.
