Hiya all First, the problem that I have had with using spotlight for typing Gensones is that if you pause for very long at all, it starts telling the answer before you got it all typed in. This is just the way the program is. As for reading the answer in calculator, I was able to get it to work. Do VO and the right arrow and left arrow keys. To the right of the answer is the memory clear button. If you do VO and the left arrow key then voiceover will say the answer. I tried interacting with the text after I typed in a little problem, and I couldn't get it to edit to the left of the + either.
