does anyone in my fediversephere have any knowledge about zoom text? a colleague is having trouble where his zoom text is bogging down the computer to the point where he must reinstall windows. He needs something for dull monitors, however. Is there a setting he can change? I have 0 knowledge so please be gentle.

If you use #ZoomText or #Fusion from Freedom Scientific and your #mouseCursor disappears, you can get it back by alt-tabbing to the app and tabbing to get to the ZoomText or Fusion menu, choosing Help, then choosing FS Support Tool. When it asks you to install, say No. It will take a minute or two, but it will come back.

Meet the October Student of the Month! Daisy is hearing and vision impaired and uses JAWS, ZoomText, and refreshable braille. “JAWS now provides detailed image descriptions, which makes a huge difference. I can also enlarge what is on the screen with ZoomText, giving me access to what I need.” Read her story: https://blog.freedomscientific.com/october-2024-student-of-the-month/

#Sharkvember excitement is in full swing with Freedom Scientific's **Next Big Thing** contest! Last year, the winning idea was all about AI-generated image descriptions—a game-changer for accessibility! This year, the competition's fierce, and it's anyone's guess what brilliant idea will take the crown. Will it be another AI marvel, or perhaps something totally unexpected?

Submissions are in soon, and on November 19th, finalists will showcase their visionary ideas for JAWS and ZoomText. I can't wait to see the creativity and innovation at play this year! The thrill of seeing our accessibility tools evolve is so inspiring. We might just see new features that transform how blind and low-vision users interact with the world!

Catch the live event and let’s cheer for these pioneers pushing the boundaries of tech! #NextBigThing #Accessibility #JAWS #ZoomText #Sharkvember2024

#FusionRuinsComputers So, after around 2 years of use of an Asus Zen Book laptop that is supposed to be designed for graphics-intensive work, I now have probably around a $300 bill for a fan that has seized up, likely because it took so much work having to deal principally with the #ZoomText portion of #Fusion. I am now without a computer potentially for over a month! I bought this laptop *because* it was supposed to be able to handle graphics-intensive things like ZT. Not pleased…
