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.

  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.

  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.
