[Blindmath] Screen reader for Calculators?

[Sarah Jevnikar]

Hi,
I have, and they're okay with me using a non-approved calculator, but there
is a question of whether anything I do find that is accessible has all or
most of the necessary features. I'm in the process of figuring that out.

Thank you for your suggestion,
Sarah

Hi

I doubt that any normal calculator would have a sufficiently powerful 
operating system to be able to write a screenreader for it.

Have you approached the society to se if they will aprove something 
else?  I think it would be unreasonable for them not too, especially 
considering the amount of time they have between now and June to check 
anything.
