In June 2016, Ai Squared was acquired by VFO, who just so happened to own both JAWS and MAGic (screen reading and magnification products once held by Freedom Scientific.) In talking with a colleague and friend who worked with VFO at the time, ZoomText was the premier screen magnification product – and although VFO also owned MAGic, ZoomText would be there primary magnifier eventually. Plus, I would often lose the mouse pointer and really found the yellow, jumbo pointer to easily find the pointer when I needed it. Having used the built-in Magnifier in Windows, ZoomText gave me the entire screen to work with – and not just a lens overlay.
I was introduced to ZoomText in the eigth grade (way back in 1998) and loved the full-screen magnification feature and pointer and cursor enhancements. Many people have known about, purchased and/or used Zoomtext, a screen magnification program developed by Ai Squared. Let’s hop into the DeLorean and take a trip down memory lane. Maybe a sales representative reached out, or you’ve just seen questions on a listserv, but is Fusion really something you should look into for your campus? First, a short history lesson … One product, Fusion, has been the topic of conversation across listservs and one-on-one chatter with pros in the disability and higher education world. The assistive technology world has been abuzz the past couple of years with several acquisitions, name changes and new products hitting the space.
