[Kde-accessibility] kmag issues

[Iain Murray]

Hi all
Just on point 1, are you familiar with the windows zoomtext program? 
This is the most popular app in Australia for low vision users. The 
controls and options for that package come up as a separate window that 
may be minimised, therefore kept out the way, once options are set. Is 
this a possibility for kmag? Additionally icons may not be enough, bear 
in mind that many magnification users really rely on speech and use the 
magnification as a guide to where they are. Integration with some form 
of screen review package must be kept in mind for future development.

Also anyone know the status of kzoom? I believe its built on kmag with 
a few more options.
Regards
Iain
