Subject: [Blindmath] Orion TI-84 Plus Talking Graphing Calculator Audio Demonstration

Dear BlindMath Community,

Recently, a friend and I have done a short podcast introducing the
TI84 Graphing Calculator. I thought that some of you on this list would really benefit from listening, which is why I would like to provide a direct link to the website from where you can download or play it. My friend's name is Jose, and he is fortunate enough to have obtained his calculator late last week. We attempt to acquaint you to the device's orientation, basic functionality, and explain some of its limitations.
We are both beginning college students who are attempting to inform the blind community of existing technology that may serve as entertaining  or helpful in a variety of settings.

Warning: This demonstration was recorded remotely. Therefore, we were unable to capture the product's full audio capabilities. For example, the stereo feedback produced when tracing a graph. This also implies that audio professionalism was not a priority.

Again, in this tutorial, we do not focus on the calculator's advance functionality. A simple introduction to the product is its main focus.

Below is a short description of the tutorial as it is displayed on our website:
In this episode of The Edgar Entertainment Show, Jose and Edgar come to you to demonstrate a newly obtained TI84 plus talking graphing calculator. This device is currently being sold and distributed by APH (American Foundation for the Blind).
Jose goes through some of the basic configurations, graphs a couple of functions, and proceeds to explain some methods by which you too can own one for yourself. this is especially helpful in a math class environment. Keep in mind that this demonstration is being done remotely. Therefore, we were unable to record the calculator's full audio graphing capabilities. We hope you enjoy.

Finally, the link is

Feedback on this podcast episode is always welcome and appreciated.
Further audio demonstrations on this topic will be produced if interest is presented.
We hope you enjoy!
