Full Screen Magnification for Mobile Phones
The latest addition to the Nuance Accessibility Suite, an integrated set of software designed specifically to meet the needs of the low-vision community, Nuance ZOOMS magnifies the content of mobile handset displays so that low-vision users can navigate through the screen and make use of all the functionality their mobile phones have to offer. The first full-screen magnification tool for Symbian Series 60 handsets, Nuance ZOOMS uses the complete screen area for magnification. And with its unique Distributed Views mode, Nuance ZOOMS enables users to view all important areas of the screen simultaneously.
Nuance ZOOMS has the effect of holding a magnifying glass over a handset screen—but without any equipment required. Users can move the Nuance ZOOMS magnifier across the screen to enlarge elements and intelligently access different screen areas. Using Nuance ZOOMS' full screen magnification capability, the user can magnify the entire screen area to view its contents at up to 16 times its original size. Alternatively, the Distributed Views mode divides the screen into several areas to display various elements simultaneously. As the user scrolls through a menu or a list of options, Nuance ZOOMS magnifies each item along with some of the surrounding area. By taking advantage of key commands, the user can magnify specific elements such as the window title, soft keys, or battery level indicator. What’s more, when the magnifier is on an object—such as a menu item—that does not fit on the screen in its entirety, the smart scrolling feature automatically begins to scroll through the text after a brief delay so the user can view the complete contents.
