Abstract
Systems and methods for enlarging selectable content. Content that includes selectable items is displayed on a display device through a user interface. When an item is selected, the item is enlarged such that the selected item is more easily viewed. If the item includes text, the text is more legible because it has been enlarged. Other items included in the content that are not currently selected are not enlarged or modified. When a new item is selected, the new item is enlarged and the previously selected item returns to an unselected size and is no longer enlarged.
