Subject: [Blindmath] Google graphing calculator

Sometime in late 2011, Google added another new service to their page. Now
if you enter a mathematical function in the search box, a graph of the
function will appear below the search box. If you are a teacher of a blind
student using swell paper to produce tactile graphics, this might be a very
convenient way to provide tactile graphics of mathematical functions.

I think I saw somewhere that you can download and install the Google
graphing calculator as a desktop calculator. If so, blind students may be
able to combine it with the Voice software to create a sonified graphing
calculator.
