Just think of how fun it is to fight with the best voice activated devices, Alexa, Siri, and Google.  Now add the problem of math.  I say good luck but I wouldn't do it. At least not with the current power of voice activation.

He recamended that I should hunt for a nice graphic calculator that can be activated by voice commands, much like SIRI is opperated. He suggested that I get my hands on one called I think it’s called Pentel or something like it. I have not used this calculator for an iphone. I don’t know if it’s screen reader accessible. Does anyone know of a graphic calculator that can be opperated by voice, that’s software on a computer or smart phone and is screen reader accessible? I think that it might help me out in addition to the TI84 graphic calculator.
