Galileo
Galileo 4 is the screen magnification software for Windows NT/2000/XP developed by BAUM.
Though Galileo 4 is an independent and autonomous program that offers every comfort of a modern screen magnification software, it has especially been developed for use with the screen reader Virgo 4. By combining these two solutions all former compatibility problems between screen readers and screen magnification software now belong to the past.
