We ended up putting her big screen TV on an articulating wall mount, which allowed her to pull it away from the wall and down when she needed to use it as a monitor. I learned all of this when I had to get creative with a client who had macular degeneration but who still wasn't ready to give up reading with her residual vision, and for whom no amount of magnification on "the small screen" produced a result that would allow that.

Even if you have to magnify some, a tiny bit of magnification for "the normal monitor" translates into quite a bit more when it's displayed on a big-screen TV. The can be positioned such that they're where a monitor would be, if that proves to be preferable in the first place, and everything ends up magnified by default, preserving context. In this age of very large screen TVs, coupled with either HDMI output from the computer itself or casting ability (though the latter is more of a pain), it is well worth considering whether using a large screen TV as a monitor is the better way to go. I have had clients for whom magnification on a standard (and by standard I even mean large, but that would be used as a typical monitor) monitor needed to be boosted so much that by the time they could use the magnified version it robbed them of the needed linguistic context. For anyone who's had sight and used same for reading, we do not read letter by letter or even word by word, processing tends to take place in multi-word chunks at a time and we also possess a lot of predictive ability (and that applies regardless of reading modality) based on context. One thing I'll point out here, and it's related to magnification in general, is that it has its limits and they get hit relatively quickly. Invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. I used ZoomText with JAWS in the days before ZoomText Fusion with a client in the process of losing his sight who had good days where ZoomText was enough, in between days where we used both (sometimes at once), and bad days where it was strictly screen reader.ġ0 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763

You should be able to use ZoomText (even a legacy version) with NVDA provided you choose a keyboard layout for each where there is not a conflict between keyboard shortcuts, as one or the other will be "the winner" and I believe that may be the program that
