ZoomWare solves this problem by providing a gentle boost of magnification (up to 2 times) so that everything on the screen is a little larger and easier to read. You can also change the size and color of the mouse pointer and text cursor so they're easier to find and follow, and adjust screen colors for reduced glare and greatly improved clarity of text and graphics. http://www.ulva.com/news/archive/zoomware-announcement.htm GW Micro is proud to announce the next generation of the Braille Sense: the Braille Sense Plus.
