The New MAGic Screen Magnification Software from Henter-Joyce, Inc.

Bill Kilroy, Low Vision Director
Henter-Joyce, Inc.
St. Petersburg, FL

Henter-Joyce representatives will demonstrate MAGic screen magnification software on a computer and talk about the new, completely redesigned user MAGic Interface.

With support for Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95 and Windows 98, MAGic from Henter-Joyce, Inc., is an excellent choice for people with low vision who wish to magnify the information on their computer screen. This is a software product, and is easy to install and use, so that an end user can install it themselves and be up-and-running in only a few minutes.

MAGic also has comprehensive compatibility with JAWS for Windows! In fact, MAGic has a "tracking engine" which is derived from the same tracking methods used in JAWS for Windows. This will give us the ability to customize MAGic for specific applications and job needs.

• Pop-up help for all active items on the user interface.
• Improved video card compatibility in Windows 98/95.
• Six different magnification modes, including horizontal and vertical split-screens, a lens that tracks the mouse pointer, a lens that tracks the focused item, a magnification overlay, and full screen magnification. User-customized smoothing of on-screen items including fonts and graphics.

• User-customized screen color settings to screen out unwanted colors.
