There have been no announcements yet, to the best of my knowledge.
I think they are still digesting the large meal they have eaten over the
past year.<br><br>

Since both companies Freedom Scientific and AiSquared have both gone
under the umbrella of VFO, I’m wondering if Magic and Zoomtext are
going to be merged as well. Anyone heard?<br>

<a name="_MailEndCompose"></a>Hi Lori,<br>
<br>
I’ve heard several times that Zoomtext has been giving people problems.
I use it myself and it tends to go through waves of everything is fine
and then problems start.<br>
<br>
I’ve been told Magic by Freedom Scientific is very similar and is
as of now having fewer problems. It may be something to check into.<br>

<br>
Good morning everyone and happy Friday! <br>
<br>
We have a staff member who has been a ZoomText user for a number of years
but is now experiencing a number of issues after moving from Win 7 (32
bit) to Win 7 (64 bit). After the move to 7/64, his ZoomText was upgrade
from 10 to 11 and the issues started. The department’s current OS
standard is 7 but is scheduled to be upgraded to Windows 10 next year.
This user can be moved sooner if a solution can be found. <br>
<br>
Here is an explanation from his tech support person:<br>
We've had nothing but problems with ZoomText 10 and 11. It often
freezes or the mouse cursor goes haywire when a couple of our
library-specific applications are used and the reader sometimes just
stops working and ZoomText has to be closed and restarted to get it
working again. Also since upgrading to Office 2016 the user does
not like the color schemes in Outlook and how they appear in
ZoomText. ZoomText tech support hasn't really been able to come up
with any solutions.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions to help in solving the ZoomText problem or suggestions
for a more stable software package for this OS environment?<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance for any guidance,<br>
<br>
Lori<br>
