AbleTech has chosen the Fiji School for the Blind as the recipient of many low vision and blindness related products that have been generously donated by clients and manufacturers. These items are collected and once a year AbleTech makes arrangements to ship the items to Fiji.

“These items are a god send and change lives for people who normally could not afford them” says Amit Ram, community liaison with the school.

ZoomText Fusion is the ultimate accessibility tool for individuals with any level of vision impairment. ZoomText Fusion provides the best of both worlds – ZoomText, with its best in class screen magnification and visual enhancements for screen viewing ease, coupled with the power and speed of JAWS for screen reading functionality.

By blending ZoomText and JAWS together, Fusion has flexible, high-quality speech using Eloquence and Vocalizer Expressive, powerful keyboard access including navigation on the web, and a wide range of customization options.

If you have previously used ZoomText Magnifier/Reader, you will be very familiar with magnification operation when running Fusion. Because all screen reading is controlled by JAWS, you may notice differences with speech operation when running Fusion. With Fusion, you also have the choice to run ZoomText or JAWS independently or together by launching Fusion!

Contact AbleTech, your authorized Fusion Dealer for more information.
