At our agency we use ZoomText, and most folks also use ZoomText at home.
I believe that this is true for most state agencies in Texas. I have not
heard of any agency that is using anything else.

I have not heard of anyone who uses the Windows XP or other built in
Windows magnifier that needs a serious magnification solution, unless
the software or hardware they are using does not support ZT.

Subject: [WebAIM] Common screen magnifiers

What are the most common screen magnifiers in use among the general
public? And what are the most common ones in use by government
employees (if it's different)?

Do many people use Windows XPs built-in Magnifier?

And are there any stats out there on how many people are using each
type of magnifier?

Thanks!
