[BlindMath] basic talking calculator

My son has used the first calculator by Reizen on this Maxiaids catalog page
and been happy with it. Here is the link.
https://www.maxiaids.com/10-digit-talking-calculator-earphone-talking-alarm
He used it for an Economics college class this summer and all through high
school when he was not allowed to use a scientific or graphing calculator.
We have had ours for 10 or 15 years and works like a champ. There are a
few other models on this page to choose from. I have no experience with the
Scientific ones on the page as my son always used the APH ones and was happy
with them. There is another vendor, LS&S, that sells low vision products
also. I am down on LS&S at the moment because I bought a talking watch from
them that does not work and it was made overseas and discontinued and
personally I am trying to buy branded items so I can get technical support
if I need it. My advice is to not buy the Maxiaids or LS&S models for that
reason. If you need help and don't know who made it you are out of luck.
Here is a link to an Amazon page where there are several different kinds.
My son also likes the ones by Magnifying Aids.

He had both and it's really a personal preference for the size and shape of
the calculator and trial and error for the voice. Good luck!

Jeanette Wicker and I are the project leaders at APH for the Orion TI-84
Plus Talking Graphing Calculator and the Orion TI-30XS MultiView Talking
Scientific Calculator. We need your help. APH is exploring the use of
calculators in STEM classes. Can you please take a few minutes to complete
this short (5 questions) survey on the use of calculators?
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/STEM-calculators
If you know of others who might help us with this survey, please share with
them.
Thanks for your help,
Ken and Jeanette

The Orion TI-30XS talks and has statistics and finance functions. You can
read the functions on the TI page.

Hello,
I am not allowed to take with me to the exam a Calculator which has
financial and statistics functions. That?s why I am looking for just a basic
regular talking calculator.
Thanks,
Samrawit Biyazin
