Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Fusion for?

Fusion is perfect for individuals who, over time, want a smooth transition from using magnification to a full screen reader. It also benefits users with advanced or progressive vision loss who can take advantage of magnification and full screen reading at the same time.

What web browsers work with Fusion?

What operating systems does Fusion work with?

Fusion installs and works with Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 7. Note that as Windows continues to change, new Fusion features may not be available in older versions of Windows.

Can Fusion read PDF documents?

Yes, Fusion reads and tracks accessible PDF documents. It also includes an option to perform optical character recognition (OCR) on inaccessible PDF documents so they may be read. This feature is called Convenient OCR and is perfect for accessing PDFs that have been scanned as image files.

If an inaccessible PDF is opened in Adobe Reader, Fusion displays a dialog asking if you want to OCR the document. Choose Yes to have Fusion recognize and display the text for reading.

How is Fusion different than ZoomText Magnifier/Reader?

ZoomText Magnifier/Reader functions as a screen magnification application with some screen reading capabilities but does not function as a full screen reader. Fusion, however, includes the JAWS screen reader, which provides full speech, the ability to track using speech when navigating items on the screen, and the option of using a refreshable braille display. When Fusion is installed, you can choose to just run Magnifier/Reader, Magnifier by itself, or JAWS. This covers every possible option included with your Fusion license.
