ZoomText Keyboard Features
Your new "4th generation" ZoomText Keyboard provides the
following great features and benefits.
Sleek modern design that compliments any
workstation. The ZoomText Keyboard has a brilliant
design that is both attractive and low-vision friendly, an
accomplishment that was previously thought to be
"impossible". This is the keyboard that all of your
friends will admire.
High-contrast keycaps that are easy to see, even in low
light! Each and every key on the ZoomText Keyboard
has a large-print keycap that's always easy to see, even
in low-light conditions. And the ZoomText Keyboard is
available in a choice of ultra-high-contrast color
schemes, including White on Black and Black on
Yellow.
A full-size keyboard with industry standard layouts.
With its full-size keyboard layout, including numeric
keypad and navigation keys, the ZoomText Keyboard
fulfills your needs in all of your applications. And the
ZoomText Keyboard incorporates industry standard
layouts, so organizational requirements are fulfilled as
well.
Premium keyboard action that is a joy to type on. The
ZoomText Keyboard features premium scissor-switch
keys that make typing fast, accurate and enjoyable. You
won't believe how great this keyboard feels and how
quickly you gain extra confidence in your typing.
4
A solid chassis that stays anchored under your hands.
Built on a durable weighted chassis, the ZoomText
Keyboard stays put on your desktop and always feels
solid and stable under your hands, even if you’re an
aggressive typist.
One-touch access to your favorite ZoomText features
and more. With the ZoomText Keyboard software
installed, the F1 through F12 function keys also become
ZoomText Feature Keys, providing one-touch access to
your favorite ZoomText commands, Windows
commands (Internet and multimedia), or even
commands to open an application, document or web
page—all without having to memorize complicated
hotkeys! And your ZoomText Keyboard software can be
used with any keyboard, so the ZoomText Feature Keys
are extended to your laptop keyboard, or any other
keyboard that you want or need to use.
Two conveniently located USB ports. The ZoomText
Keyboard also includes two "always in reach" USB
ports—one at each end of the keyboard. Plug in your
mouse, thumb drive, webcam, LED light, or other USB
device, without having to reach for those USB ports on
the back of your laptop, or even worse, on the back of
your computer that’s under your desk.
The Perfect Companion. The ZoomText Large-Print
Keyboard is the perfect companion to ZoomText
Magnifier and ZoomText Magnifier/Reader (versions
9.03 and later). When used together, your low-vision
workstation is complete.
