NAME

ZoomIt - Screen Magnifier and Annotations

 

SYNOPSIS

WA2LWinTools/bin/ZoomIt [ -h | -i | -u | -V ]

 

AVAILABILITY

WA2L/WinTools

 

DESCRIPTION

ZoomIt is a screen zoom and annotation tool for technical presentations that include application demonstrations. ZoomIt runs unobtrusively in the tray and activates with customizable hotkeys to zoom in on an area of the screen, move around while zoomed, and draw on the zoomed image.

Right click the tray icon of ZoomIt for the configuration dialog that describes ZoomIt's behavior, let's you specify alternate hotkeys for zooming and for entering drawing mode without zooming, and customize the drawing pen color and size.

The draw-without-zoom option can be used to annotate the screen at its native resolution, for example.

ZoomIt also includes a break timer feature that remains active even when you tab away from the timer window and allows you to return to the timer window by clicking on the ZoomIt tray icon.

ZoomIt offers a number of shortcuts which can extend its usage greatly:
