Hello Jane and all:

I know that you are using this app on your mac. I am guessing that it is 
accessible. do you have any experience with its accessibility on the iPhone or 
iPad?

Take good care and I wish you enough.

Nope, because they don't have a trial version for the iPad. Would love to try 
it, but have to wait till finances settle down a bit.

Accessibility of Soulver on the Mac

2013-02-13 Thread Rodney Haynie
Has anyone tried Soulver on the Mac using Voiceover yet? I did a search up on 
AppleVis, but saw no posts.

Soulver is a calculator on steroids. Kind of in between a calculator and a 
spreadsheet app. Very versatile, and I have heard good things from sighted 
users.

It is currently featured and is on sale, so I was thinking of snapping it up.

Any comments are welcome on the app.

Take care.
Rodney

Re: Accessibility of Soulver on the Mac

2013-02-13 Thread Chantelle Griffiths
Hi Rodney, 

Soulver works well on the Mac with Voiceover. I have been using it for a couple 
of years now and wouldn't use another calculator app. The developers are also 
very responsive to feedback from VO users. When I first downloaded the iPhone 
version, having had much success with the Mac version, I discovered that the 
keypad was not VO accessible. I reported the issue and it was fixed in a future 
update and works beautifully now. 

There are a few quirky things I've noticed, such as when moving from the main 
text area to the results area. No matter which line you are on in the text 
area, you have to manually navigate with VO to get to the corresponding line in 
the results table, which is time consuming but a minor annoyance. I have not 
really had to worry about this much until recently and have not yet reported it 
as I only discovered it yesterday. It is also quite possible that it's me doing 
something wrong. 

I only use it for basic calculations and conversions, nothing scientific, but 
it works well for me. 

Cheers,
Chantelle

Soulver a new way to deal with numbers

2011-11-24 Thread Scott Howell
I am posting this to both lists in the event some are on one and not the other. 
I don't know if any of you have ever tried/used Soulver, but it is quite neat 
and on sale for $11.99 in the Mac App store.
You can get a 10-day trial copy at the developer's site, 
http://www.acqualia.com/soulver/download/.
I did try the app and found it to be very accessible and just a neat app. I 
also think the price is not bad at all for any of the 3 versions when you 
consider what you can do with the app.
Note the sale seems to be only good for November 24 and 25.

Here is a description from the Mac app store.

Soulver helps you do quick calculations and work things out. Use Soulver to 
play around with numbers, do back of the envelope calculations, and solve 
day-to-day problems.  Annotate your numbers with words, so that they make sense 
to you. Soulver picks out the numbers and calculates your answer as you type. 
Do calculations over multiple lines, and refer to previous lines, much like a 
spreadsheet. Soulver is great for adding things up, doing all kinds of 
percentages easily, and converting things, like currencies. It's quicker to use 
than a spreadsheet, and smarter and clearer than a traditional calculator.  Key 
Features: - A text editor for working stuff out  doing quick calculations. - 
Use words amid your calculations so your numbers make sense - Easily do 
percentages ($120 - 10%, 30 as a % of 200) - See a running total of all 
your lines - Do easy conversions (10 USD in Euros, 22 feet in meters) - Do 
calculations with stocks (100 AAPL) - Refer to previous lines using tokens. - 
Create variables to hold frequently used numbers - All the standard 
mathematical functions. - Support for calculations in binary  hex. - Save your 
work  share it with the iPhone  iPad versions of Soulver. - Export into PDF  
HTML emailing. - Support for Resume  Versions on Mac OS 10.7 Lion 2010 Mac Gem 
- MacWorld 4/5 Mice 2010 Mac OS X Ars Design Award: Runner up “It reinvents the 
calculator, and in that process, I believe Acqualia have come up with a real 
piece of genius.” AppStorm “Without a doubt the best digital calculator on the 
Apple platform.” SmokingApples
