You have the inbuilt Zoom and ZoomText. For the moment, ZoomText magnification have sharper font smoothing i.e. you can increase text size and still have very sharp and clear text. Better than Zoom. Then again, i thought Zoom magnifyed an Adobe Flash Air program (streaming music) with clearer and sharper font smoothing. Full screen view both magnification programs. Also Zooms follows gmail table contents like subject, date and time row and column. Zoom Text do not, but you can hear Voice Over. When typing this mail Zoom Text also folws the text while i am typing. I strongly recommend to get used to full screen mode in use with Voice Over, but some may sat the same that they strongly recommend other Zooming option.
Voice Over have a built in beautiful feature that magnify only the area that the the square marker are marking. For example the button «Continue». At the same tim the other text is not magnified. This means, you have a close up of the whole scree while just one word is magnified. I am not comfortable with this feature, but it is fantastic for some other vision impaired mac users. Open Voice Over utilities by hit vo + f8, hit command + 7, tab to the tab «voice over marker», place a checkmark on «show Voice Over marker», go down to marker magnification, hit vo - shift + arrow down to interact with the slider to your likings and go further down to chose the Voice Over marker to enlarge word for word or sentence for sentence and you are done.

The laptop I looked at has "full screen" set for the zoom style, instead of "picture in picture". Basically, with no settings touched at all, enabling Zoom should enlarge everything. Yes, most apps allow you to zoom, but that is not the same and will not affect the menu and dock sizes. Zoom itself, in System Preferences or cmd-option-8, will. -- Have a great day, Alex mehg...@gmail.com On Feb 5, 2014, at 4:53 PM, April <aprilbrownsh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Please do find out what settings she uses to en large the menu.
