-: Portable magnifiers are useful tools,
and many of us have one or two
we keep handy around the house.
They're often great for short-term jobs,
like checking medications or reading a label.
But there are some things that they're not as good at,
things like writing a letter to a friend,
reading a magazine, or doing the crossword.
For those tasks, we need a tool
that has a much wider field of view,
like the whole page of a magazine,
or an entire sheet of notepaper.
For many people, that tool is a Desktop Digital Magnifier.
Desktop Digital Magnifiers, sometimes called CCTVs,
or electronic magnifiers, can have many features
and come in a lot of sizes,
but they're all designed the same way.
They have a camera connected to a video screen.
The camera records video and the screen displays the video.
It's that simple.
