A new update to ZoomText is making it easier for people with low vision to explore photographs using screen magnification.
Released in November 2026, ZoomText 2027 introduces a feature called Photo Tracking, which identifies people, animals, food and other objects within an image.
For people using screen magnification, viewing photographs can be difficult, particularly when only a small section of an image is visible at a time.
The new feature allows users to move directly between objects in a photograph, rather than manually moving around the entire image to find what they are looking for.
Photo Tracking can be used with images on websites, in Word documents, PDFs and image viewing applications. The feature also works without an internet connection, as image recognition takes place directly on the user’s computer.
The update includes other improvements, such as the ability to magnify content in supported applications that use screen-capture protection. Users can also choose between clearer text and faster performance depending on their preferences.
These improvements are available in ZoomText 2027 and Fusion 2027, which combines screen magnification and screen reading.
