The iPad, along with the iPhone and iPod Touch, run Apple's iOS operating 
system.  They can't run any Windows programs.  Besides everything else, the 
iDevices have ARM processors, so the architecture is completely different 
from the X86, Pentium, etc.
There is a magnifier program, under Settings, General, Accessibility, called 
Zoom.  I don't know much about it, since I can't read any kind of print.
VoiceOver, the famous screen reader, generates speech and can drive braille 
displays, but has no magnification features of its own.  The gestures that 
control VoiceOver are different from what sighted people use to control 
their iDevices with VoiceOver turned off.  And some of these gestures 
conflict with those used by the Zoom program, as I understand it.
Having said all that, I suspect that many apps that can display text can 
also have their fonts adjusted over a certain range.

Subject: I Pad question

Hi,

I'm considering an I Pad. I normally run Zoomtext and Openbook which I
understand won't necessarily run on the I Pad.
My question is can I load text .txt files on the I Pad to enlarge and use
voice over to read them?

Thanks,
