About ZoomText USB
Computers have become ever-present in our lives, and so
has our need to access and use computers everywhere we
go… at home, at school, at work, even in libraries and
other public facilities. To make ZoomText readily
available to individuals that need it, Ai Squared has
introduced “ZoomText USB” – ZoomText on a USB flash
drive that users can conveniently carry with them and use
at any time.
With ZoomText USB, you can install and run ZoomText
whenever and wherever you need to (with administrative
privileges), without having to purchase additional
licensing or activate each installation of the software. This
makes ZoomText both convenient and inexpensive for
both individuals and organizations, and faster to deploy
in network environments. Once ZoomText has been
installed on a system, ZoomText will automatically start
up each time you plug in the USB drive – activated and
ready to use.
ZoomText USB is available for both ZoomText Magnifier
and ZoomText Magnifier/Reader. ZoomText Magnifier is
delivered on a green USB drive, while ZoomText
Magnifier/Reader is delivered on a blue USB drive.
ZoomText 10 USB drives have a white swivel, while the
ZoomText 10.1 USB drives have a black swivel. The
information in this setup guide applies to both versions.

Key Benefits of ZoomText USB
ZoomText USB provides these important key benefits:
Access on any computer
With ZoomText USB you can plug in and run
ZoomText on any system without having to purchase
additional licensing.
Portable and always within reach
The ZoomText USB drive fits in your pocket or
around your neck (on the included lanyard), so it’s
always with you when you need it.
Easy to use
Just plug in the ZoomText USB drive and ZoomText
automatically starts up. If ZoomText is not installed,
the friendly setup program is launched and you’ll be
up and running in minutes.
Plug-and-Play license management
Since the serial number is tied to the ZoomText USB
drive, there are no serial numbers or license
activations to worry about.
Includes three machine activations
Single-user versions of ZoomText USB include three
machine licenses, so you don’t need to plug in your
USB drive on the computers you use the most.
Take your settings with you
Your personalized ZoomText configuration settings
are saved to your USB drive and are automatically
loaded each time you plug in and start ZoomText.

Unplugging the ZoomText USB Drive
As with all USB flash drives, it is important that the
ZoomText USB drive is not unplugged while the system
is reading or writing information on the drive, which
could corrupt important files needed to install and run
ZoomText. To eliminate this risk, always shut down
ZoomText before unplugging the ZoomText USB drive.
ZoomText USB Setup Guide 7
Installing ZoomText USB
ZoomText USB is easy to install on your system. The
ZoomText USB drive includes a talking setup program
with large-print dialog boxes that guide you through the
installation.
Note: The ZoomText setup program will install system-
level components, which requires administrator
privileges. If you do not have these privileges,
contact your network administrator before
proceeding with the installation.
To install ZoomText USB
1. Plug the USB drive into an available USB port.
The ZoomText Setup program may start automatically,
depending on how the Windows AutoPlay options are

and click Open.
