I have an employee with low vision. Can you recommend software for them?

Do you have an employee with low vision?  The first thing to know is that there is a lot of help out there for someone with low vision.  There are numerous government and not for profit organizations that can offer top support and a wealth of information for employees with low vision.  In addition, with today’s Assistive Technology, low vision computer users have access to many user-friendly, reasonably priced tools.  To start, click here to check out Microsoft’s accessibility page, where you can find a wealth of useful information regarding low vision software, great case studies and many demos and tutorials. 

In addition, EnableMart has access to many low vision software products that can be located on our website, under the Low Vision/Screen Magnification Section.  Here are some of my favorite products: Zoomtext, SeeIt and Supernova.  These items can magnify the entire screen,  or parts of the screen as needed, and come with a wealth of features that can make seeing what is on your screen much easier.  Even more so, Zoomtext Magnifier/Screenreader provides audio feedback in clear, human sounding, natural voices.  Still undecided?  Please give us a call, we would love to talk to you about either one of these products, and we have access to free demos for most of the software products listed on our site, so you can try these products on your own computer before making any purchase.
