Fusion review
Combines ZoomText magnification with JAWS screen reading for Windows users.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Fusion brings ZoomText screen magnification and visual enhancements together with JAWS screen reading in one Windows desktop product. It is intended for people with vision impairments who use magnification and may also benefit from full screen reading, as well as schools, agencies, training centers, and businesses. Magnification and screen reading can run together or separately, so users who need both can move between visual and spoken access within the same package.
The feature set extends beyond enlarging on-screen content. Fusion includes Eloquence and Vocalizer Expressive speech, keyboard access and web navigation, color inversion and enhancement controls, and screen tracking synchronized with speech and braille. Convenient OCR can help make inaccessible scanned PDFs readable. The combination is especially relevant for users whose needs span magnification and screen-reader access; someone seeking only a basic magnifier may not need the breadth of this package. Existing JAWS customizations are also accessible, which can matter for people already working with that software.
According to the vendor's purchasing information, prospective buyers should contact Freedom Scientific or an authorized dealer for pricing. The vendor offers Professional licenses for organizations and Home licenses for personal, non-commercial use. A 40-minute demo mode is available, but it requires a restart after each session and is not a free plan. Fusion is a fit for Windows users, including organizations, that need magnification and screen reading in one product; buyers looking for a public, self-serve price or software for another platform should consider alternatives.
