If you find yourself straining to see what's on your computer screen, whether it's text, graphics, tool bars, icons or email, Lunar Screen Magnifier can make life a lot easier.

Visibly better

Lunar Screen Magnifier works with Windows and Windows applications, including word processing, spreadsheets, the Internet and email. It allows you to continue working with the computer in exactly the same way and is therefore highly practical for both office and home situations. Lunar Screen Magnifier's advanced technology means that even on high magnification, text and images remain smooth, clear and easily readable. Further clarification of activity on-screen is available thanks to strong, high contrast colours. Simply choose what works best for you.

Text and images are smooth and clear up to 32 times bigger.

LunarPlus with added speech

LunarPlus Enhanced Screen Magnifier offers people with a visual impairment the same invaluable features as Lunar Screen Magnifier but with the added advantage of speech output. Any text on screen is read out so not only you can check for accuracy as you type in documents or emails but you can also hear information on menus and web pages.

Interaction with friends and colleagues through IT is unaffected because both Lunar and LunarPlus work with the latest information technology without changing programs or modifying software in any way.

Easy to use

Lunar and LunarPlus are simple to configure and easy to use. Supported by comprehensive online help, they also come supplied with interactive tutorials on audio CD.

Lunar and LunarPlus are designed to work automatically with most off-the-shelf Windows applications. At the office or at home, for business or pleasure, Lunar enables you to work with the latest information technology in the same way as friends and colleagues.

Integrated system

Lunar and LunarPlus are stable and reliable, whether in use on a home PC or network server. Installed on a network or a server, Lunar and LunarPlus Screen Magnifiers can be used at any terminal and can simply be switched on or off as required. Dolphin offers flexible licensing options and discounts for organisations with more than one Lunar user.

Designed to meet the ever changing needs of today's IT environment, Lunar does not alter either the operating system or application software in any way.
