> When someone needs to see large print the focus should be getting a large
print magnification program (such as Magic or Zoomtext) which can also have
speech. Expecting a speech-only program such as JAWS to function properly
with very huge letters is not really an effective way to use a computer. If
it was, none of us partially sighted people would need these magnification
systems. While it would be nice if there was a "one program fits all" it's
not going to happen. When the emphasis is on large print, the thinking is
that the user won't need quite the full array of controls that JAWS would
offer, shifting performance to enlarging video instead. Maybe one day there
will be an all-inclusive program that would do it all, but for right now the
best we can do is pick our priorities according to our own need. Does this
make sense to you?
