SuperNova Magnifier review
A configurable Windows magnifier with multi-monitor support and camera input.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SuperNova Magnifier is Windows desktop software that enlarges on-screen text and images for people with low vision. Its range of magnification, display layouts and visual controls suit people who need to adapt how content appears, especially Windows users working across multiple monitors. It is one of three SuperNova editions from Dolphin Computer Access Ltd., and is positioned as a magnifier rather than a speech-enabled screen reader.
The feature set centers on adjustable viewing. Magnification runs from 1.2× to 64×, with full-screen, split-screen, fixed-window and movable magnifier views. Mouse, typing and focus tracking can follow activity on screen, while highlighting can distinguish the pointer, cursor, word, line or focus. Colour schemes include adjustments for brightness, contrast and tint; font and image smoothing are also available. Touchscreen zoom and panning gestures add another way to navigate, and multiple-monitor magnification can be configured across displays.
For wider visual access, Connect & View adds camera input alongside the on-screen magnifier. SuperNova Magnifier does not include speech support, so people who need spoken screen content should consider a different edition or another product with that capability. Dolphin lists the Magnifier edition for purchase via dealer, while its public pricing route is contact-sales; published plan information does not provide a public price. A 30-day trial is listed for the SuperNova range, but the download described for trial is for the Magnifier & Screen Reader edition, so that should not be assumed to apply to Magnifier alone. It is a fit for Windows users prioritizing strong magnification and visual customization, but less suited to people seeking speech or a directly published price.
