[Blindmath] Talking Scientific Calculators

Wed May 23 14:54:38 UTC 2012

FYI...there does appear to be a "Free 30-Day Trial of the AGC" according to this page:
http://www.viewplus.com/products/software/math/
You'll find a link on that page labeled "Download Audio Graphing Calculator" which downloads the installer. I suspect you will want to try it out first and make sure it can do most of what you need.

Hi All,
Do you guys think this calculator is advanced enough? I feel students in
my calc classes can do much more with their calculators like programming
in equations and stuff. What's the difference between this talking
calculator and a calculator a sighted student would use? I just checked
my college's math website and they say the recommended model is a TI
83+. I'm thinking the Audio Graphing Calculator would probably be my
best solution then.
Thanks for the feedback thus far.
