Hey /r/Blind community! I'm looking for a good alternative to Zoomtext. I like using it at work, but I don't make enough to drop a few. Any suggestions? I looked at GlassBrick but I can't figure out how to download it. Not sure it's free... I mostly use zoomtext for both Invert Brightness, zooming, and the shortcuts to zoom in and out and invert back to normal colors (so I can see pictures normally).
Edit: I want to add that I'm using Windows, I think 8.1 or something. I know it's not Win 7 or 10.I'm using the Windows hi Contrast which is terrible, and the Win Mangifier as well. So, I'd like to be rid of this! :)
Much appreciated. :)

I haven't found anything that comes close to Zoomtext that is free or cheap.
Windows 10 has the best looking built-in magnifier, and you can upgrade [for free]
(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade) as an AT user.
You may also be able to get zoomtext through vocational rehab for home use as well.
If you happen to go to any of the blindness conventions, I believe both ACB and NFB usually have steep discounts for attendees for a lot of AT software.
The [I can connect]
(http://www.icanconnect.org/#) program for deafblind people in the US also will pay for many types of software and hardware used for communications, including Zoomtext. A lot of different things might be covered for you. When you are interested they might also help you with getting a braille display to use with or instead of Zoomtext.
