Hi,

There are no specific incompatibility issues running ZoomText on Windows
2000.
But there are known problems with the DocReader and the poor speech
support of ZoomText level 2. The DocReader do not work in Acroboat. You
can read acrobat PDF files with Acrobat 5 and install the Accessibility
plug-in. This makes it possible to convert from PDF to TXT files.

AiSquared is in the process of beta testing version 8, that will be
released in spring 2003. These kinds of problems should be solved in
that version.
