ZoomText and JAWS would not be a good fit, but JAWS and Magic, which are both
from Freedom Scientific, work just fine together. Magic does have built in
speech which works similar to JAWS in that it does use Eloquence, but its
controls are not quite as extensive as the full version of JAWS, since the main
focus of Magic is for large print users who may need audible assistance.
Freedom Scientific cannot guarantee that JAWS would run properly with screen
magnifiers other than Magic, so you would be gambling by trying to run JAWS and
ZoomText. Don't get me wrong, ZT is a good product and I'm in no way putting it
down, but if you want compatible programs the above combination is what is
recommended. Currently, Magic's new version is 9.0 and you can run it with its
own speech if you prefer, or you can run it along with JAWS and its speech will
yield to the JAWS program.
