inLARGE is a full featured screen magnification program for the Macintosh which offers 1 to 16 times magnification of all or part of the screen, the ability to invert the screen to white on black with "smart color inversion," an adjustable cross hair option for easy cursor location, three different glass motions, and much, much more.

The wide range of options available with inLARGE is designed to allow users to customize the program to fit their individual needs. inLARGE can be adjusted to give people with low vision access to most Macintosh applications, or it can provide relief from the eye strain caused by spending a lot of time in front of a computer. The "Scan Mode" provides easy hands-free reading on a magnified screen and the "Background" option prevents distraction by blacking out all parts of the screen except that which you are reading. And, the ability to magnify just a portion of the screen is useful for doing detailed graphics work.

inLARGE commands (including Help) are easily accessible by intuitive keyboard commands or from the control panel interface.
