Well Phil,

You're wrong! I use it.  Before my eyesight deteriorated to the point in
which I required a screen reader, I used to use Dolphin Lunar. and then
Zoomtext.  When I was assessed by the RNIB, JAWS and Lunar were
recommended, but Brian Hartgen of T&T Consultancy, soon discovered they
do not work together.  So Lunar was switched for Zoomtext, and those
nice people at Dolphin, gave a full refund! However I did have some
problems using JAWS and Zoomtext, so it was switched again to Freedom
Scientifics MAGIC, which works better, but I still believe even though
JAWS and MAGIC are both made by Freedom Scientific, that they still
don't live together as well as one might expect.
Personally I believe FS should fully integrate JAWS and MAGIC into one
product.
HTH

Me again,
 
Doing some digging around on speech / magnification options and
wondering if anyone out there is or has ever used Magic from Freedom
Scientific?  I'm not planning on using it myself and I'm aware of other
solutions like Zoomtext, Supernova etc but I must confess although I've
heard of Magic I don't think I've ever come across anyone who uses
it....so go on prove me wrong!
 
Thanks,
 
Phil
