A powerful app for mathematical purposes, but it also allows you to use voice-input for calculations and conversions. Answers and numbers can also be read aloud. There is a simple calculator and a scientific calculator. The display can also be changed to high contrast (black and yellow) for students with low vision.
itunes.apple.com/us/app/talking-calculator/id424464284?mt=8 Talking Calculator's features include: ------------------------------------------------- - Select between two user-interfaces: standard calculator, and ultra-simple, which is ideal for young children. - Reads answers, entered numbers and formulas aloud. For example: 1,234.56 is spoken as "One thousand, two hundred thirty four point five six." 2 + 5 x 3^2 is spoken as "two plus five multiply three squared" - Two entry modes, Standard and Formula. Standard mode emulates traditional calculators: You need to be mindful of the 'order of operations'. Formula mode takes care of the order of operations for you. You enter a mathematical expression, complete with operators and parentheses (brackets), tap the EQUALS button, and the expression is evaluated. This is similar to using formulas in Microsoft Excel. - Paper log feature, designed particularly for classroom use. Calculations are recorded with a timestamp and can be viewed or emailed. - Built in recording studio and script. Requires only 5 minutes to record a new voice. Recordings can be transferred between devices using Bluetooth. - Supports VoiceOver standard and touch-typing input styles. Speaks numbers and formulas naturally, not as sequences of digits. Magic Tap can be used to speak with the built-in or custom recorded voice. - The entire app is accessible to VoiceOver and Switch Control users, including the recording studio for recording your own voice and the use of complex formulas. - International number formats - Optional high contrast mode (black on yellow)
