Dual
The Dual screen reader and screen magnifier
Dual gives you both speech and magnification. We have combined our LookOUT screen reader with our Magnus screen enlarger to make Dual, a program which can read your computer screen both loud and clear. It speaks the screen contents, and simultaneously magnifies everything on the screen up to 16 times.
- Dual will speak what you type.
- Read out your documents.
- Magnify whatever is on the screen.
- Read your e-mails and Web pages.
- Invert the screen colours giving you, for instance, white print on a black background.
- No extra speech synthesizer is required.
Preferences
-
- There are speed, pitch and volume options for the speech.
- Magnification can be suspended and restored with the PAUSE key.
- A Novice verbose mode can help beginners.
- Easy-to-learn keystrokes.
- Visual Basic scripting for complex situations
System Requirements
-
- Windows XP, 2000 or NT4 (not 98 or Millennium)
- A fast modern multimedia PC or laptop (at least 800 MHz and 128MB RAM)
- Any sound card and a low-end Video card
Dual is not voice recognition software. It speaks what is on the screen but does not respond to your voice.
