The following describes improvements made in the May 2026 update.
Visual Refresh
ZoomText has a fresh, new look. The desktop icon now features a brighter green background with a white “Z,” and updated graphics appear throughout the application, including the Startup Wizard. This refresh makes it easier to locate the ZoomText icon on the desktop.
The refreshed design also aligns ZoomText with the updated branding used across JAWS and Fusion, creating a more consistent and recognizable experience across the Vispero product family.
Improved Windows 11 Compatibility and Performance
We continue to enhance ZoomText to keep pace with the latest Windows 11 updates (version 24H2 and later) and modern graphics technology. As part of this effort, ZoomText now uses an updated display adapter called Capture API, which helps reduce issues like black screens and delivers a more consistent and reliable viewing experience, especially on newer computers.
Everything works automatically, so there is nothing to set up. ZoomText simply delivers the best possible experience for your system.
Turkish Language Support Now Available in Fusion
Fusion is now available in Turkish, expanding accessibility to a broader range of users.
