[BlindMath] Voice activated screen reader graphic calculators?

Fri Feb 1 15:38:41 UTC 2019

You can find a list of the keys on this page that can be quickly converted to braille or just read on your computer.  There is a PDF and a more accessible list here:

You don't really need the list if you use the key describer though.

If you haven't done so already, I would take the time to create a few pages of braille listing the modified TI84's keys from left to right, top to bottom, along with their shifted or held-down functions, if any. I don't have one of these calculators, but certainly would have used one if I was in college now. Don't worry about whether anyone else can read your braille cheat sheet. You might discover that you need to revise your braille chart after a few months when you understand some of the functions better.

Hi all! 
 Today, at the end of math class, my math teacher came up with a good idea. 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. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this E Mail! 
Blessed be!!!
