No, I completely spoke too soon. I didn't know about the speech and I
didn't realise that the edit field was always highlighted among meriad
other things I didn't know about the mac calculater. I'm sold, grins.

I've been thinking it doesn't work, but that's because vo doesn't seem
to speak in that box for me. When I just did 2+2 to test it it worked
fine, but my accuracy isn't always very good, and when I try to make
corrections things go wrong.
Yeh, when I make corrections everything disappears from the box or
maybe just the last number I typed will be there. It's a bit odd. I
don't really mind hitting the buttons, but if there's a better
solution to be had it might be nifty to play.

Orin, you can indeed just type the numbers. I think you have to be
focussed on the display area, but that's where you start when you
open up the calculator.

Hey all,
Does anyone know where I can get a Calculator to type on, rather
than click on each of the buttons? I was doing a rather simple
operation that I really could've, should've done in my head this
morning. I didn't feel like it, and besides I wanted to give this
calculator a test run, since I haven't used it before, and it
disappointed me that there was no edit box to type the numbers in.
Does anyone know a freeware app that can do this, or perhaps
Apple's Calculator can do it, I'm just not sure how to get the edit
box up?
Thanks.
