MagniLink iMax is a program with many useful functions for people with visual impairments. The software provides magnification, image enhancement and pointer settings as well as screen reading with high-quality speech output. With the inclusion of the high-quality Infovox iVox Text-To-Speech voices by Acapela Group, MagniLink iMax comes with automatic language identification in the screen reader mode and also includes ConvenienceWare GhostReader - an application for reading selected text and documents, which significantly extends the built-in text-to-speech features of Mac OS X. GhostReader contains shortcut keys for fast and easy access to the text and the user can listen to documents including file types such as Text, Word, HTML, PDF, ODT and RTF. Furthermore, you can convert texts to MP3-files to be played in iTunes, be uploaded to your iPod, iPad or burned onto a CD!
“LVI Low Vision International is the first company to provide a fully Mac OS X compatible video magnifier,” said David Niemeijer, AssistiveWare’s CEO. “Being innovators ourselves we wanted iMax to be the best possible companion product for their excellent hardware.”
With features like split screen, dual screen support, full-screen mode, multiple high-contrast modes, a circular and a square lens-zoom, MagniLink iMax gives you the ability to set the screen mode based on your own preferences. The Contrast Enhancement Mode gives a clear picture with smooth character edges regardless of the magnification. MagniLink iMax is compatible with Mac OS X version 10.6 (Snow Leopard). A 30-day free trial version is available for download from the LVI Low Vision International web site.
“AssistiveWare is the leading developer of universal access solutions for Mac OS X,” said Erik Bondemark, CEO of LVI Low Vision International. “They were a natural choice to partner with for screen magnifying software when we decided to make our MagniLink video magnifier fully compatible with Mac OS X.”
