Mac Forum / General / Networking / November 2005Visually impared people on a MAC
I have a student who has been using PCs and now we are switching to MACs. She has been unable to find the kind of screen enlarging software that she used with Windows. Is there a MAC equivalent? > I have a student who has been using PCs and now we are switching to > MACs.

First, before all the others jump in, the preferred form is Mac, not MAC, as that is another computer term, all together different. The Macintosh system has built in features for people with vision problems, this feature can be found under System Preferences / System / Universal Access. Gerry Any way to make it larger. This just blows it up to like 72 point or something. I have someone semi-blind who needs it like double what the maximum in universal access zoom will allow. Also, how do you enlarge the mouse arrow? > Any way to make it larger. This just blows it up to like 72 point or > something.

I just tried Universal Access Zoom and at maximum zoom the cursor doesn't fit on the screen  SignatureClark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" >> I have a student who has been using PCs and now we are switching to >> MACs.

It does work with easel. I'm just trying it on my iBook and am wondering if by using a larger external monitor would the clarity stay better than it does with the laptop? I also have a client with this problem and she needs her text very large and of course this is an important issue... SignatureCheers! Dennis Remove 'Elle-Kabong' to reply |
