[Blindmath] Audio graphing calculator

[Tim in 't Veld]

Shalini,
This topic has been discussed on this list at great length so you may 
want to take a look at the list archives.
There is no full replacement for the physical graphing calculator 
sighted students use. Viewplus has an audio graphing calculator software 
product, you can download a demo from their website. But its 
functionality is limited and the sof tware is rather buggy, they haven't 
updated it for years. So make sure it does what you need it to do before 
spending the money (it probably doesn't if you want to study mathematics 
at university level).

What exactly is the reason for you needing a graphing calculator in 
college? If you can tell us a bit more about the functionality you'll 
need and your visual impairment we can help you further, for most 
graphing calculator functionality good replacement options are 
available. But rather than trying to learn about all of that up front 
I'd recommend asking your college which functionality you need in the 
first cemester and focus on finding a solution for that first.
