The Specialist Software and Equipment for the Partially Sighted:
There are more than enough ways to help the Partially Sighted when using a computer. We should show more dedication to helping Partially Sighted people as it will allow them to work in the IT industry and make them feel useful cause they will actually doing work.
The screenshot above shows me using the Magnifier in just 1 of many ways that it has. on the right of the screenshot you can see there are some settings for the Magnifier. You can change how wide and tall you want the magnifier to be on the screen (how much of the screen is magnified). At the top of the screenshot you can see the application which is used to chose how much you want to zoom in on the screen, access the settings and what type of view you want. To move the Magnifier around the screen you use your mouse. As you can see there are 3 types of views.
To open this application you would got to the "Start" button on your computer at the bottom left and then click "All Programs" which then will open loads of options but you want to find "Accessories" and then go to "Ease of Access which has alot of other helpful things also but you want to click Magnifier then the application will open and you can set it up to your preferred preferences,
The following will be information on the different types of views there are:
Full-Screen Mode:
Full-Screen Mode is where the whole of the computer screen is zoomed in to what ever you have it set to. For Example: If it is set to 200% then the whole screen will be zoomed to 200%. If you have the zoom big you may not be able to see the whole of the screen at one time.
Lens Mode:
Lens Mode is what I was using in the screenshot. It is where you have a certain space that get magnified around your mouse cursor. Depending on how big you set the area to in the settings is how much of the area around your mouse cursor is Magnified.
Docked Mode:
Docked Mode is when the magnifier screen is in one position and the rest of your screen is the same size but when you move the mouse cursor around the screen it becomes magnified in the magnifier box that is in one position.
