Virtual Magnifying Glass is designed for visually-impaired and others who need to magnify a part of the screen. Unlike similar programs it does not open a separate window for the magnification but instead puts a movable magnifying glass on screen.

Features

  • New, much improved dynamic mode, works in Windows 2000+, but on Vista+ requires turning Aero off. For more information please read here: http://magnifier.sourceforge.net/#dynamicmode
  • New, improved and smaller Mac version
  • Supports Windows 98+, Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X
  • To turn Aero OFF before using the Dynamic Mode in Windows just go to the "Start Menu" and select "Run" and then type: Rundll32 dwmApi #104

User Reviews

  • Ridiculously cumbersome to get to move the dynamic magnifyer. Crosshairs showing where the mouse is positioned is like 30-50 pixels too high (Windows 7 bootcamp on late 2012 MacBook pro) Very disappointing. Would have been a great tool
  • Far too slow to respond to bug reports -- I just received an email suggesting a solution to a bug I'd submitted 2+ YEARS ago, after having replied to a request for more information myself just eight minutes after it was asked for.
