I have two clients that were using it and both had problems with our Human
Resources software (Peoplesoft). When I was down at the CSUN conference in
L.A., I addressed these issues with the Zoomtext technicians while visiting
their booth. I wasn't impressed with the support they provided so I just
happened to visit another booth and received a demo CD of a product called
Magic (version 8.0). When I returned to Canada, I immediately installed it on
both of the clients' PC's and they loved it. I've now purchased the full
version ($825.00 U.S.). One word of caution....I have it running here on
Windows '95 PC's and it is not certified to run on Windows 2000. The folks in
our test lab are currently trying it out with windows 2000 and I'm hoping it
will be okay. Apparently, the previous verion (6.2) will run on 2000/ME
machines.

Hi Folks,

Our office is investigating purchasing ZoomText and I wanted to know what
people's experiences with it are. Does it work well with Access and Word
applications? Do some versions of it work better with Access and Word than
others (it looks like there are four versions currently available)? Are
there other programs that work better? Please let me know if you have
recommendations along these lines.

Thanks,
Tracy Scharn
