What is screen magnification?
Screen Magnification is a feature, tool or application that enlarges content from a computer, laptop, tablet or smart phone screen making it easier to read and understand.
Platforms like Windows, Android and iOS have screen magnification preinstalled which means they can be set up, configured and used right out of the box. The preinstalled tools may not, however, be adequate as they can be limited on the additional features that they provide.
For a greater range of features, third party screen magnification software can be purchased for the Windows and Apple Mac platforms. Aside from screen magnification, adjustments can be made to the mouse pointer, cursors, colour of background and foreground and speech can also be included.
