6 Magnifying with ZOOMS

This chapter describes the Nuance ZOOMS magnification component, which you can obtain in a
standalone configuration and also in combination with the Nuance TALKS software. Magnification is
available with or without speech output; if your version supports only magnification or only speech
output, the features that correspond to the missing component are not available.

6.1 Getting started with magnification

The magnification feature acts like a magnifying glass, enlarging screen elements to enable you to view
them more easily. You can move the magnifier around the screen to access different areas. The portion of
the screen that is enlarged depends on your settings and the actions that you are performing. For example,
ZOOMS can use the entire screen area to magnify one element (referred to here as full-screen
magnification) or divide the screen into several areas to display several elements simultaneously (referred to
as distributed views). When you scroll through a menu or a list of options, ZOOMS magnifies each item
along with some of the surrounding area.
Using key commands, you can easily move the magnifier to elements such as the title of the window, the
soft keys, or the display of the battery level—and at the same time, you can hear TALKS read out the
information that you are viewing. In addition, when the magnifier is on an object that does not fit entirely
onto the screen, such as a menu item, the smart scrolling feature automatically begins to scroll through the
text after a brief delay.
If you prefer gray text to colored text, you have an option to convert the text to shades of gray and to
invert the colors so that the display looks like a film negative.
To turn on magnification:
•
Press [TALKS], [Call].
Or
•
In the TALKS&ZOOMS Settings dialog box, on the Magnification tab, set Magnification to
On.
The magnification feature is activated and, using the area of the entire screen, displays a magnified version
of one portion of the screen (to find out how to change this display mode, see section 6.3).

6.2 Navigating with the magnifier

Most of the navigation keys described in this section correspond to the keys that activate TALKS speech
output for certain parts of the screen. If TALKS is active along with ZOOMS, the key sequences produce
speech and magnify the screen at the same time.
To scroll vertically or horizontally:
•
Press and hold [Up], [Down], [Left], or [Right], depending on the direction in which you want
to scroll. (To stop the scrolling, release the key.)
Note: To navigate through menus one by one, press and release [Up] or [Down] just as you do when
magnification is not active.
To magnify one of the soft keys:
•
Press [TALKS],[Key 1]. Press this key sequence again to move to the other soft key.
To magnify the status indicators:
•
Press [TALKS],[Key 2] once to view the battery indicator, in the upper right corner.
