Magnification of the Computer Screen
Dec 13 2007, 11:08 PM EST
I'd like to know if anyone produces a frame mounted and adjustable magnifying glass the size of a computer screen. We are looking for this for one our ou students who has difficulty viewing text on the screen despite font size adjustments. Do you find this valuable?

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but www.ergoindemand.com sells magnifiers that attach to the front of the monitor and magnifier the screen to a certain degree. The one's I have seen provide 200% magnification. For magnification that can be customized, I suggest looking at a screen mangification software program.

For more information about screen magnification software, visit www.magnifiers.org There is a wealth of information about magnification software and hardware. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that information. www.magnifiers.org has been very helpful. I've been able to download a free 30 day trial of a screen Magnifying glass. It appears quite suitable to the person I am trying this for. I'm now looking forward to trying this our for a couple of weeks for a data entry operator who works at the Spastics Society of Karnataka, Bangalore.
