[Athen] Zoom Text Fusion reviews/recommendations

[Matt McCubbin]

Hi Kathy,
Though I don't have much experience using Fusion, I would hold off on the fusion purchase until you have a chance to test the next release of ZoomText, version 11 with JAWS 18. JAWS 18 reportedly has greatly improved interoperability with this upcoming version.

Hope this helps, and happy Friday!
All the best,
Matt

Subject: [Athen] Zoom Text Fusion reviews/recommendations

Hi Colleagues,

Has anyone used or purchased Zoom Text Fusion?  We are due to renew our
Zoom Text license but uncertain if Fusion is worth the extra cost.  One of
our student workers with low vision tried out Fusion but wasn¹t too
impressed.  Would love to hear people¹s opinions.

Thanks
Kathy
