Alan,

Can you download the Big Calculator free app and see if the :plus, minus, 
times, button are read by VO.  I have some people tell me they are but on my 
iPad I have not had any luck with that app.

I suggest trying all the free apps.  I found that almost all of them were 
accessible.  I did find one that was totally not blind friendly.  Voice over 
acted like the app didn't exist.  With that having been said, it comes down to 
a matter of preference.  I just wanted a simple basic calculator  with all the 
bells and whistles and stuff I would never use.  All could do simple add, 
subtract, multiply and Divide.  I found that those apps which put the numbers 1 
through 0 on the right side of the screen made it much easier then the few I 
came across who placed then on the left.  I'm using my iPad Air in a case with 
a built-in QWERTY keyboard.  If you are looking for more then a simple unit, 
fear not.  Many could do advansed calculations so it comes down to a matter of 
finding one that trips your fancy.  I hope this helps but I fear you may not be 
willing to download 15 or 20 apps but should you choose to do so, you are sure 
to find that right one in there somewhere.  It isn't often the blind get that 
many choices to pick one from.

Hi lister’s,

 

Can someone suggest a good calculator for the iPad.  I have tried the Big 
Calculator Free but found some buttons not read by VO.  Any help on this would 
be greatly appreciated.
