    Functionality is not comparable. Zoomtext does much more than simply magnify a section of a screen like a magnifying glass or provide magnification to a locked, fixed area. This has little useful functionality for low vision users.

    Same functionality as ZoomText : not a screen with a magnifier but all the screen magnified. But Free, fast and with shortcut. Perfect.
