Bc (the calculator mentioned earlier in the thread from the djgpp
collection), works just fine with screen readers, so I would say that
it's screen reader friendly, regardless of what screen reader you're using.
It's a command line program, and it talks just like the dos prompt does.
If you're concerned about your screen reader not working, then just grab
that one, and you won't have any other problems with calculators.

Thanks Eric for providing both options.
Speaking very personally, there is no such thing as generalized screen
reader friendly.
This is because many factors impact what specific screen reader
programs provide across environments if that resonates.
I am thankful therefore to discover which option suits my individual
desires.
Best,
Kare

Hi!
All FreeDOS packages in the monthly test distro releases
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/test/report.html
are linked as individual zip for download:
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/unstable/util/rcal.zip
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/unstable/util/foxcalc.zip
Note that foxcalc has a text-mode pop-up interface,
while rcal is a prompt-based interactive text thing.

Hi there,
Can they be downloaded on their own?
I do not run freedos itself as of yet.
