Problem
When ZoomText is enabled, the shortcuts for AppReader (Alt + Shift + A) and DocReader (Alt + Shift + D) do not work. Changing the hotkeys doesn’t help either but you are able to manually launch the readers by clicking on their icon in ZoomText.
Solution
- Windows Vista, 7 or newer
- Press the Windows Key + U to open the Ease of Access Center.
- Click on “Set up High Contrast” or “Make the computer easier to see”.
- Uncheck the first checkbox which should read “Turn on or off High Contrast…”
- Click OK.

- Windows XP
- Press the Windows Key + R to open the Run box.
- Type access.cpl and press Enter.
- Click the Display tab.
- Uncheck the “Use High Contrast” checkbox.
- Click OK.
