Re: Calculator on the Mac.
Chris,
I understand. We have people here with varying levels of experience.
Some must have been born with a Mac in their hands and those are the
ones we come to with questions.

Two ways. First, you don't need the calculator for simple things:
open Spotlight with cmd-space, and type a calculation. 2-4 will
yield -2, and 4^4 (4 to the fourth power) will yield 256. You can
use parentheses, plus/minus/multiply/divide, powers, and negative
numbers all from Spotlight. The asterisk is multiply, the slash is
divide, dash is minus/negative, and plus is plus. You just type the
calculation--no need to hit enter--and after a second, VO will say
the answer.
If you still need to use the calculator, open it and you'll be on
the "0", which is the display. Type your calculation and press enter
to hear the result. You can then do more calculations, and if you
don't type another number before the symbol (plus, minus, etc), the
value displayed is used. You can use the number pad with no problem,
but VO won't announce the symbol you enter for some reason. It will
announce the numbers, though.

Alex, I remember now why I do not have those options checked. Don't need two voices speaking at me at the same time. I can see why the lack of feedback when pressing the plus minus multiply and divide symbols is disconcerting.

Re: Calculator on the Mac.
That's odd. I don't have either option checked, and VO announces the result when I press enter. I never move from the input window where I land when the app first opens--maybe that's why? Either way, I nearly always use Spotlight, which is faster to get to and doesn't need a separate app. It's not as powerful, but if you just need to run a quick calculation or two, it can't be beat for simplicity. > On Mar 6, 2016, at 13:51, Christopher-Mark Gilland <clgillan...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > When did I say anything about it being obvious?

Two ways. First, you don't need the calculator for simple things:
open Spotlight with cmd-space, and type a calculation. 2-4 will
yield -2, and 4^4 (4 to the fourth power) will yield 256. You can
use parentheses, plus/minus/multiply/divide, powers, and negative
numbers all from Spotlight. The asterisk is multiply, the slash is
divide, dash is minus/negative, and plus is plus. You just type the
calculation--no need to hit enter--and after a second, VO will say
the answer.
If you still need to use the calculator, open it and you'll be on
the "0", which is the display. Type your calculation and press enter
to hear the result. You can then do more calculations, and if you
don't type another number before the symbol (plus, minus, etc), the
value displayed is used. You can use the number pad with no problem,
but VO won't announce the symbol you enter for some reason. It will
announce the numbers, though.

Re: Calculator on the Mac.
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.

Re: Calculator on the Mac.
Hi, In calculater: keyboard + is for adition. Keyboard - is for subtraction. Keyboard * is for multiplication. Keyboard / is for division. Keyboard = is for calculating the line. keyboard escape is for clear. So, you want to stay on top of the line that shows your calculation and just keep calculating.

Re: Calculator on the Mac.
Two ways. First, you don't need the calculator for simple things: open Spotlight with cmd-space, and type a calculation. 2-4 will yield -2, and 4^4 (4 to the fourth power) will yield 256. You can use parentheses, plus/minus/multiply/divide, powers, and negative numbers all from Spotlight. The asterisk is multiply, the slash is divide, dash is minus/negative, and plus is plus. You just type the calculation--no need to hit enter--and after a second, VO will say the answer. If you still need to use the calculator, open it and you'll be on the "0", which is the display. Type your calculation and press enter to hear the result. You can then do more calculations, and if you don't type another number before the symbol (plus, minus, etc), the value displayed is used. You can use the number pad with no problem, but VO won't announce the symbol you enter for some reason. It will announce the numbers, though. > On Mar 6, 2016, at 07:46, Kawal Gucukoglu <kgli...@icloud.com> wrote: > > Hello. > > Last night I ventured to use Calculator on my I Mac as I had always used the > Calculator on my I phone.

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. To find out more about what I'm doing and why, please visit http://www.virginmoneygiving.com/team/RNIBiceland where you can also sponsor me online. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
