[Blindmath] Grasping calculators

[Bente Casile]

I have seen this new Calculator that is coming out and if you can hold off
until it is on the market it is well worth the wait.  As a math instructor I
have been frustrated by the lack of functionality that was available
considering what the students were required to do in the classroom at the
college level.  This new calculator will have ALL the functionality of the
current TI-84+.  It will finally level the playing field for Blind/VI
students.  It is AWESOME!!

In addition to the Audio Graphing Calculator from ViewPlus Technologies,
which I give trainings on, APH and Orbit Research unveiled the new Orion
TI-84+ Talking Graphing Calculator at the recent CSUN Conference in San
Diego. This new calculator is being field tested at present, and it will be
available for purchase from APH with federal quota money in time for the
2013-2013 school year. Read all about it at:

Hollow,
Are their any graphing calculators that are accessable to the blind?
