Assistive Software Products - Visual Impairment

 

 

Product Overview
If you find yourself straining to see what's on your computer screen, whether it's text, graphics, tool bars, icons or email, Lunar Screen Magnifier can make life a lot easier.

Visibly better
Lunar Screen Magnifier works with Windows and Windows applications, including word processing, spreadsheets, the Internet and email. It allows you to continue working with the computer in exactly the same way and is therefore highly practical for both office and home situations. Lunar Screen Magnifier's advanced technology means that even on high magnification, text and images remain smooth, clear and easily readable. Further clarification of activity on-screen is available thanks to strong, high contrast colours. Simply choose what works best for you.

LunarPlus with added speech
LunarPlus Enhanced Screen Magnifier offers people with a visual impairment the same invaluable features as Lunar Screen Magnifier but with the added advantage of speech output. Any text on screen is read out so not only you can check for accuracy as you type in documents or emails but you can also hear information on menus and web pages.

Interaction with friends and colleagues through IT is unaffected because both Lunar and LunarPlus work with the latest information technology without changing programs or modifying software in any way.
