What does MAGic refer to in assistive technology?

• A. A speech-to-text program.
• B. A screen magnification function.
• C. A color-enhancement filter.
• D. A hearing aid feature.

Answer: (B)

MAGic is a screen magnification tool used in assistive technology. It enlarges the content on a computer screen so text and graphics are easier to see for someone with low vision. Users can adjust how much to magnify, often tweak contrast or color settings, and keep the area of focus clear as they move around the screen. This is different from speech-to-text programs (which convert spoken words into written text) or hearing-aid features, and it’s not primarily a color-filter tool, though some options may include color enhancements. So, MAGic’s main role is to provide on-screen magnification to improve readability and navigation for users with visual impairment.
