Using Windows’ Magnifier tool to help access visual app interfaces if you have low vision

Here is a very short demo showing how I use the Windows Screen Magnifier to navigate a very visual plugin interface, in this case VCV Rack.  There is also a brief overview of using a CCTV magnifier with a hardware synth, and how I use puff paint and bump dots to occasionally mark controls on gear that I use.

Because of a lifelong interest in audio, I attended Full Sail in Orlando, FL in 2004. I then became an assistive technology instructor because of limited industry opportunities at the time. I now use Reaper on a Windows DAW at home. I enjoy singing, playing the piano, sound synthesis, sound FX design and podcast production. I enjoy learning new things and trying out new technology. I also enjoy collaborating and creating with others. I currently share editing responsibilities for the Pride Connection podcast and enjoy producing my own music. I volunteer with Girls Rock St. Petersburg as a piano / keyboard / vocals instructor and band coach.
