Welcome to MAGic
MAGic is a software solution ideally suited for computer users with low vision, or anyone who spends extended periods of time in front of a computer screen. 
MAGic lets you magnify your computer screen from 1 to 36 times its usual size. You can choose from a number of different adjustable views that let you see both a magnified and unmagnified portion of the screen at the same time. 
Speech features assist you in processing the information on your screen. MAGic can read text that you type or point at with the mouse. MAGic moves the magnified area of the screen so you always see the text being read and highlights words as they are spoken. 
Mouse and cursor enhancements help you track the location of the mouse pointer and cursor on the screen. You can choose from a wide variety of enhancement styles. MAGic lets you change the color of these enhancements, apply transparency effects, adjust their size, and more. 
Color enhancements let you change how colors display on your screen. You can create rules that replace one color with another or switch two colors. You can also apply color tinting, make your screen black-and-white (monochrome), and invert the brightness and colors of your display.
Other MAGic features track elements of your screen, such as the mouse pointer, dialog boxes, and so on. The Locator feature provides you with a way to quickly find and move to different areas of the screen. The MAGic multi-directional panning system gives you complete control with adjustable speed, direction, stop and start, and screen navigation controls.

Installing MAGic
To install MAGic on your computer, do the following:
1. Insert your program DVD. The Freedom Scientific Product Setup dialog box opens.
Tip: 	If your MAGic installation disc does not start automatically, click the Start button, select Run, and type D:\setup. If your disc drive is not D, substitute the correct drive letter.
2. Press ENTER to choose the MAGic Screen Magnification button. Press ENTER again to choose the MAGic Setup button.
Note:	If you are installing Network MAGic, choose the MAGic Network Setup button instead, and then choose either the client or server setup.
3. The MAGic Setup program starts. You will hear the installation speak the instructions as they appear on your screen. Follow these instructions to complete the MAGic installation.
4. After the Setup Wizard starts, you are asked to accept the End User License Agreement, and then to choose between performing a typical or custom installation. The typical installation, which is recommended for most users, installs the most common program features. Use the custom installation if you want to specify the default location where MAGic is stored on your hard disk, or if you want to install client or server components for remote access. This type of installation is recommended for advanced users. 
5. When the installation is complete, choose FINISH to exit the Setup Wizard. 
If this is a new MAGic installation, the next step is to complete the activation process. Otherwise, the MAGic Startup Wizard opens. Use it to configure basic MAGic parameters and install basic training materials.
  MAGic Startup Wizard
The MAGic Startup Wizard is a helpful tool that lets you configure specific MAGic parameters, such as the default magnification setting, hot key assignment, and startup preferences. In addition, you can install basic training materials. The wizard launches after you install and activate the software. You can always run it later from the MAGic Help menu by pressing ALT+H and choosing Startup Wizard.
The Startup Settings that appear when running the wizard let you define if and how MAGic loads when you start Windows. The options that appear will vary depending on your operating system.
Startup Settings for Windows Vista or Later 
The Startup Settings dialog box contains several check boxes. If you use the default settings, MAGic will always load and run before and after you launch Windows. This dialog box contains the following items: 
* Select the Start MAGic at the Log On screen check box so that MAGic loads and starts when the Windows log on screen appears. The check box is selected by default. If you have Standard user rights, you cannot change the value of this check box, and MAGic will ignore and not announce the check box. 
* If the Start MAGic after log on for all users check box is selected, MAGic loads and starts after you log on to Windows. It is cleared by default. If you have Standard user rights, you cannot change the value of this check box, and MAGic will ignore and not announce the check box. 
* The Start MAGic after log on for this user combo box lets an individual control if MAGic starts after he or she logs on to Windows. If Always is selected, MAGic starts every time the current user logs on. Always is the default setting value. If Never is selected, MAGic will not start after the user logs on. If Using the All Users Setting is selected, then the following can happen: MAGic starts after the user logs on if the Start MAGic after log on for all users check box is selected, or MAGic does not start if the same check box is cleared. 
* Select the Run MAGic from System Tray check box to prevent the MAGic button from appearing in the Windows taskbar, which is located at the bottom of the screen, with other programs that are currently running. Instead, the MAGic icon appears in the Windows system tray, which is located in the bottom right corner of the screen, to indicate that MAGic is running. Finally, when this check box is selected, the MAGic icon does not appear in the list of active windows when you press ALT+TAB. This check box is cleared by default. 
* If the Minimize on Startup check box is selected, the MAGic user interface is minimized when MAGic starts. To open the user interface, choose the MAGic button in the taskbar, or press MAGic Key+U. This check box is cleared by default. 
Startup Settings for Windows XP
The Startup Settings dialog box contains the following check boxes:
* Select the Run MAGic at Startup check box so that MAGic automatically launches when you start Windows. 
* Select the Run MAGic from System Tray check box to prevent the MAGic button from appearing in the Windows taskbar, which is located at the bottom of the screen, with other programs that are currently running. Instead, the MAGic icon appears in the Windows system tray, which is located in the bottom right corner of the screen, to indicate that MAGic is running. Finally, when this check box is selected, the MAGic icon does not appear in the list of active windows when you press ALT+TAB. This check box is cleared by default. 
* If the Minimize on Startup check box is selected, the MAGic user interface is minimized when MAGic starts. To open the user interface, choose the MAGic button in the taskbar, or press MAGic Key+U. This check box is cleared by default.
Installing RealSpeak Solo Direct Synthesizers
Included on the program DVD is the RealSpeak Solo Direct speech synthesizer. It contains a variety of voices in several languages. To install these voices, insert the DVD into your computer's disc drive. Then, follow the instructions to select which voices you want to install, and complete the installation. 
You can also use the RealSpeak Solo Direct Sample and Download page at http://www.freedomscientific.com/downloads/RealSpeak-Solo-Direct-Voices/RealSpeak-Solo-Direct-Downloads.asp. On this page, you can listen to a voice sample, and, if you like it, download and install the voice directly from the Web page.
Starting MAGic
MAGic gives you a variety of ways to start the program. 
* Press the hot key, ALT+CTRL+M, which can be automatically assigned from the MAGic Startup Wizard. 
* Double-click the MAGic icon on your desktop. 
* From the Start menu, choose All Programs, open the MAGic submenu, and choose MAGic.
* From the Start menu, choose Run, type magicx, where x is the version number, and press ENTER. 
Quitting MAGic 
To quit MAGic, do one of the following:
* Press ALT+F4 
* Click the Close button  in the top right hand corner of the window. 
* Select Exit from the File menu. 
Tip: 	If you want MAGic to ask you to save your settings when you quit, open the File menu and choose Preferences. Select the Prompt to Save Settings on Exit check box.
Getting Started
Start MAGic by pressing ALT+CTRL+M or by double-clicking the MAGic program icon on your Windows desktop. You can also start MAGic by opening the Start menu, choosing All Programs, MAGic and then selecting MAGic.
Tip: 	You can change how and when MAGic starts by opening the File menu and choosing Preferences.
When you first start MAGic, your screen is displayed in 2× magnification using the Full view. Speech will also be enabled. You can change the magnification level, magnified view, speech, and many other options by using the MAGic user interface.
The user interface is a small window that appears in approximately the center of your display. This window allows you to control all aspects of MAGic and contains the magnification and speech buttons in addition to the MAGic menu and title bars. The user interface is shown below.

Magnification and Speech Buttons
One of the first things you will notice about the user interface is the rows of blue and orange buttons. The blue buttons control magnification features while the orange buttons control speech. Below are brief descriptions of each button. 


Use the Magnification button to enable or disable magnification.

The current magnification level can be adjusted with the two Magnification Level buttons. The number that appears between the two buttons shows the current level. 

Use the Mouse Enhancements button to enable/disable enhancements and modifications for your mouse pointer. These enhancements make the mouse pointer easier to track and maneuver on your screen.

Use the Cursor Enhancements button to enable/disable enhancements for your cursor. These enhancements make the cursor easier to follow when editing or writing text.

Use the Colors Enhancements button to enable/disable color enhancements. This feature allows you to replace colors, adjust the brightness and contrast, apply tinting, blend colors, and invert the brightness and colors of your display. 

Use the Locator button to enable/disable the Locator function. The Locator function allows you to find items on your screen. 

Use the Focus Enhancements button to enable/disable the Focus Enhancements function. This function places a rectangular border around the item that is currently selected on your monitor.

The Resize View button allows you to change the dimensions of your magnified view.

Select your preferred magnified view from the Magnified Views list.

Use the Speech button to enable or disable speech.

Use the Mouse Echo button to toggle the mouse echo feature on and off. The mouse echo feature enables MAGic to read text that you point at with the mouse. 

Use the Typing Echo button to enable or disable the typing echo. If typing echo is enabled, MAGic announces the words or characters you type. 
MAGic Menus
Located above these buttons is the menu bar. The menu bar allows you to customize speech, magnification, and your keyboard. You can also view help information and perform other functions. Each menu is described below. 

* File: The File menu allows you to save your settings and restore the original Freedom Scientific settings. You can also use this menu to change your MAGic preferences.
* Magnification: The Magnification menu allows you to customize how you view your screen with MAGic. You can also change mouse options, panning settings, view properties, and more.
* Speech: You can customize the speech components of MAGic to fit your particular needs. The Speech menu allows you to customize how you read text with MAGic.
* Tools: The Tools menu lets you customize keystrokes for MAGic and configure how MAGic pronounces specific words. You can also access the Freedom Scientific Script Manager application from this menu. (Note: Requires MAGic Pro Scripting Edition.)
* Help: The Help menu provides you with detailed help information for the various MAGic functions and options. You can also view information on the newest features for this release and see your current MAGic version.
The MAGic Key
The MAGic Key is the CAPS LOCK key on your keyboard. Pressing the MAGic Key in combination with other keys activates a number of MAGic commands. If you want to assign the MAGic Key to a different key on your keyboard, open the Tools menu, choose Keyboard Manager, and then choose MAGic Key. 
Reading Text with MAGic
MAGic can use synthesized speech to read text that appears on your screen, including documents, menus, dialog boxes, e-mail messages, Web pages, and more. Additionally, MAGic can highlight the text as it is spoken. To customize MAGic’s speech, use the commands available on the Speech menu.
Tip: 	You can silence MAGic’s speech at any time by pressing CTRL. To toggle speech on or off, press MAGic Key+F3.
Using the Mouse to Read Text
Mouse echo is a feature that allows you to read text with your mouse. To use mouse echo, just move your mouse pointer to some text on your screen and then stop. After a short delay, MAGic will speak the word you pointed to. You can use the Mouse Echo button to enable or disable this feature. 
In addition, you can hold down the MAGic Key and press the left mouse button to start reading from the current location of the mouse pointer. You do not need to hold down the MAGic Key while MAGic reads. MAGic stops reading when you move the mouse or press a key.
Using the Keyboard to Read Text
MAGic has a number of different keystrokes that let you use the keyboard to read text. To use these keystrokes, move the insertion point or mouse pointer to any location within the document. Then press one of the following key combinations to read from that location:
* To begin reading from your current location, press MAGic Key+SPACEBAR or INSERT+DOWN ARROW. 
* To read the current character, press NUM PAD 5.
* To read the current word, press MAGic Key+ALT or INSERT+NUM PAD 5. To spell the current word, press the keystroke twice quickly.
* To read the next word, press INSERT+RIGHT ARROW. To read the previous word, press INSERT+LEFT ARROW.
* To read the current line, press MAGic Key+L or INSERT+UP ARROW. To read the next line, press DOWN ARROW. To read the previous line, press UP ARROW.
* To read from the beginning of the line to the current position of the cursor, press INSERT+HOME. To read from the current position of the cursor to the end of the line, press INSERT+PAGE UP.
* To read the current sentence, press MAGic Key+S. To read the next sentence, press CTRL+MAGic Key+S.
* To read the current paragraph, press MAGic Key+P. To read the next paragraph, press CTRL+MAGic Key+P. To read the previous paragraph, press ALT+MAGic Key+P.
* To begin reading a column of text from your current location, press MAGic Key+C.
* To read text that you have selected, press MAGic Key+CTRL or INSERT+SHIFT+DOWN ARROW. 
* To hear the contents of the Clipboard, press MAGic Key+X.
Note: 	By default, the MAGic Key is assigned to the CAPS LOCK key. To change this, open the Tools menu, choose Keyboard Manager, and then choose the MAGic Key button. 
When you read text with these keystrokes, MAGic highlights the word it is currently speaking. To change the color and/or style of this highlighting, open the Speech menu and choose Highlight Options. 
Reading Text in Dialog Boxes
In addition to the reading commands listed previously, you can use the following keystrokes to hear information in Windows dialog boxes:
* To read the title bar of the active window or dialog box, press MAGic Key+T or INSERT+T.

Updating MAGic
Freedom Scientific is continually seeking to improve and expand MAGic for Windows. Periodically, updates to MAGic will be released. It is recommended that you keep your software up-to-date so that you experience the greatest possible performance. In addition, Freedom Scientific will also provide new and updated DAISY training materials for you to download. 
Updating your software is quick and easy. To search for updates to MAGic or new training materials, do the following:
Note: 	Your computer must be running Windows XP or later, and it must be able to access the Internet in order to use the following update procedure.
1. Press ALT+CTRL+M to open the MAGic application window.
2. Press ALT+H to open the Help menu.
3. Press P to select Check for Updates. The update feature determines if you have the most current release. If you do not, select one or more items from the list and then select INSTALL to begin the update. All enhancements since the initial public beta release are included in the update. If the updates are not installed successfully, repair your installation of MAGic (refer to the online help for more information) and then try the procedure again.
Note: 	If your computer has active firewall software (such as Windows Firewall), you may receive a warning indicating that either the FSAutoUpdate Application or FSAutoUpdate.exe is attempting to access the Internet. You must allow this process to access the Internet through the firewall in order to retrieve updates.
