Study Notes

Windows Magnifier

  • Three display options: Full screen, Lens, and Docked, which can be used to enlarge the screen.
  • Full screen is the default option, enlarging the entire screen.
  • Lens maintains the standard size on the screen, but draws a box that enlarges an area.
  • Docked presents the enlargement in a fixed box at the top.

Options

  • The value that adds or subtracts magnification when using the Zoom out and Zoom in buttons can be changed, e.g., to 25%.
  • Monitoring options include following the cursor, keyboard activity, or a fixed area.
  • In Lens mode, the size of the magnifier can be configured.

Windows Speech Recognition

  • An alternative for people with motor disabilities, allowing verbal orders to control computer actions.
  • Requires configuring a microphone and "training" the computer to identify the user's tone and speed.
  • Allows launching applications, closing them, writing documents, etc., but has limitations and requires development.
  • Currently, voice recognition is available in Spanish, but the list of verbal commands is in English.

Accessibility Menu

Magnifying Glass
