[Athen] [SPAM] Question abut the program zoom text

[Monica Olsson]

Hi Charlotte,

If the student is primarily using ZoomText to zoom in and enlarge the PDF to see the document, that would be working if the document has good enough resolution and clarity.

If the student is trying to use some of the features within Zoom text that read text aloud, but the PDF is poor quality/scanned/not real text, they will likely encounter barries to this.

Subject: [SPAM] [Athen] Question abut the program zoom text

Hello!

Is anyone familiar with the program Zoom Text?

I have a student and parent who is using it and they are having issues with this program with it not reading PDF.

I am not familiar with this program nor any other program that is meant for low vision users.

Any suggestions on other programs that you know works with PDFS is welcome or troubling shooting is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and help in advance.
