First of all, you're making this way harder than it has to be. Open up Calculator.
Now, hit vo+M to go to your menu bar, and go to the speech menu. In here, check both options. The first is speak button pressed, and the second is speak result. Now, simply type the equasion on your keyboard. The return key will act as your equals key. You were asking about the subtraction minus key. Type the following, for example, 24-12 Then hit return. You should hear it say 12 with whatever settings you have selected in your text to speech options within System Preferences. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kawal Gucukoglu To: Macvisionaries Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2016 7:46 AM Subject: Calculator on the Mac. Hello. Last night I ventured to use Calculator on my I Mac as I had always used the Calculator on my I phone. What ever I did, I could not find the subtract, multiply but could find the Plus. I even put the Keyboard help on with VO K as I thought I’d get to know where the multiply was. So if anyone has used the calculator on the Mac, please could you give me some instructions as how I should use it please? I also have a Mac mini and use the Apple USB keyboard and so I hope I can use it in the same way when I use the calculator on my Mac Mini as well. Logically I would have thought that Apple would have designed the calculator on the Mac in the same way as the calculator on the I phone. Thanks. Kawal. I'm fundraising for RNIB. Please help me make a difference by making a donation to my Virgin Money Giving page.

Pressing your delete key, (backspace on a non full sized keyboard,) should act as your all clear. I don't normally use the calculator on the mac, but trust me. It's incredibly doable.
