Independent living using a computer


Zoomtext enables you to magnify everything on your computer screen.  Lorna borrowed a Lead laptop and Zoomtext to get to grips with this technology. 

Lead signposted her to the ACT foundation and Communicability where she received half funding from each towards a copy of Zoomtext of her own.

Lorna now independently scans and magnifies her own mail, practices her college work at home, and accesses the internet.  She used the internet to find a new house more suited to her needs.

There are many alternative software magnification programmes to Zoomtext.  Find out which one suits you best.  Talk to one of our Lead Scotland Organisers.
