Magnifying Monitor Screen

A co-worker has asked me for help for his wife who has a problem with her eyesight. She needs the screen magnified, I do not know what her condition is.
I have Googled and have had a number of hits, but not having had anything to do with this before I don't know one from the other.
I would like to hear from anyone who has experience or know-how about them Software or Hardware.
Thanks in advance

Letting us know the OS would be good info?

Depending on her current resolution perhaps just reducing it would be enough, if husband and wife both use the computer set up different users with different resolutions.

If that isn't an option there's many Magnifying utilities around and they are all much the same, try one and see.

 

Thanks Guys, I never thought of asking what OS they are using and if they are sharing one PC.

 

Dragon NaturallySpeaking comes to mind.

But this depends upon if she wants to view the screen better, or be able to use the computer easier.

For "viewing" then obviously a larger monitor and lower screen resolution
