[Electronics-Talk] OT Accessible Calculators

[David Waybright]

Contact APH.  At the National Convention they told me the talking piece is physically connected inside the calculator.  They also have updated firmware they run on the calculator to make it work.


As they told me, when you learn how it works it's fully accessible.  No, you don't need sighted assistance because they ship it ready to go.


Graphs are visual components, hence sight might help understanding them, but APH says there is features built-in to make graphs even accessible.

Hi all! I?m required to use an IT83 in my math class in January. I was also recamended to work with the APH TI84 because it has the added talking peace added onto it. Unfortunently, when I talked with my education team just before lunch, the APH Ti84 got some sceptisism and my technology teacher also didn?t get enough good reviews regarding this calculator. Has anyone used it in math class? If so, what are your experiences with the APH TI84 graphic calculator with the talking peace added to it? How did it work for you? Were you able to use it independently and without problems? If not, what are the problems? How did you get around those problems? Are there areas where you have to have sited help with this calculator? Can you use it out of the box? Did a sited person have to set it up for you? Even more importantly, are you able to use the whole calculator without sited help? The more I know about this calculator, the marrier!!! I need to educate my education team myself on this matter.


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