Newer Features of Supernova

Multiple Monitor Support: Gain increased productivity with true multitasking on the Windows Extended Desktop by magnifying applications running on two or more monitors side by side. For presentations, magnify notes on the first monitor, while showing unmagnified slides to a fully sighted audience via a projector. Also use Presentation Mode for training sighted colleagues with your chosen applications.

True Fonts: Text onscreen appears smooth even at the highest magnification levels! Dolphin's True Font Technology even supports non-standard aspect ratios, and vertical or diagonal text! SuperNova now offers the following 3 options:

• True Fonts - Newer, high quality True Font smoothing at all magnification levels.
• Standard - Uses the classic image smoothing found in SuperNova v11 and earlier.
• None - Simply magnifies the original content.

Choose the SuperNova edition to suit you: The Dolphin range of screen readers and magnifiers have been renamed to be more descriptive. Now, there are 4 product 'editions' in the SuperNova family: SuperNova Access Suite, SuperNova Screen Reader, SuperNova Magnifier and SuperNova Reader Magnifier.

Access Suite features synchronized screen magnification and screen reading in one product (formerly SuperNova).
Screen Reader delivers powerful multi-lingual speech and Braille features (formerly Hal).
Magnifier enlarges and highlights text on screen (formerly Lunar).
Reader Magnifier includes all the features of SuperNova Magnifier. In addition, SuperNova Reader Magnifier speaks text under the mouse pointer, and reads documents (formerly LunarPlus).

What's New in Supernova v12

User Testimonial for Supernova:

My name is Lizzie Tovey and I work as an Electoral Administrator for a local Council. Our office is very busy as we administer all elections and look after the electoral register for Bromsgrove District Council and Redditch Borough Council.

My sight can vary depending on the day. I have had several surgeries on my eyes to combat problems with the pressure, I have no peripheral vision and most of the time, suffer with blurred front on vision so a magnification programme is a must!

I had previously been a Lunar user for about 12 months and when I heard there was a new version coming out that supported multiple monitors, I was delighted as this is something I had previously put on my wish list with Dolphin.

SuperNova Magnifier v12 with multiple monitors is a fantastic product. Within my job I often have to work alongside another person when inputting, or checking information. Previously, this was quite difficult for the person working with me to understand what was going on as (like most magnification users) I am so used to my software that I whizz about the screen knowing exactly where everything is - however this used to make my colleagues feel a bit woozy!

Now with multiple monitors, I can have my own monitor magnified and put the other one into presentation mode. I also love the fact that I can have different documents open, or e-mail on one screen and another application on the other. Previously with Lunar, this was not possible and also when using two monitors, the screen would be bitty, so I tended just to stick to the one. Now with the addition of "True Fonts," this does not happen and the text is 'super' crisp!

There are so many new features in SuperNova Magnifier v12 and I have not had time to explore them all fully yet, but I just love the fact that you can hop between your displayed applications using the shortcut of the middle mouse and Caps Lock key. Already this new version has made such a difference to my working life and I know will continue to make me even more productive.

Thank you Dolphin for listening to us and for making such a 'super' product.

All Dolphin Software is supplied with a 30-day money back guarantee and free lifetime support.
