[Blindmath] Scientific calculator for high-school student

[sabra1023]

I don't know of any comparable calculator. Here in the states, it's already available through APH. They might be backordered. I don't know though because I'm not getting one. If it is an issue of it just not being released in Thailand, you could find a person or organization in the states that could purchase it and ship it to you if you gave them the money or some sort of arrangement like that. The main calculator I use is on my notetaker, which is a braillenote from humanware. You could also type the formulas and two Microsoft XL and had it solve them. There is also a computer program you could purchase called the audio graphing calculator, but I used it in high school, and found it difficult because it could only understand limited equations. Microsoft XL does do a lot though. It might even be better then a calculator on the note taker because you can do lots of things with big strings of numbers.
