Would something like a mercury 12 or connect 12 help at all?

No, unfortunately my vision loss is predominantly in the form of blind spots so magnification makes my vision worse- it gives me a sense of "throwback" or disorientation. If something is too small I typically move closer to it, as a way of getting around this issue
I currently use phones and laptops fine without major adaptations- my contrast settings need to be very clear and I am slow, but I would like to have an idea for the near future what else is out there.

For example I would love to know how do I move my mouse around certain texts and have it converted to sound, but only with certain texts? I had someone set that up for me but it started reading out everything on the screen non stop so I couldn't work with it.

A good AI sounding text to speech for long documents would be great too. I love AUDIBLE, but my work and study related documents aren't on there unfortunately haha!
