Purpose:
This Talking Calculator app promotes the development of math skills by stating the operations and answers in a natural way. For example, it uses statements like, “plus,” “minus,” “multiplied by,” and “divided by” and it states answers as, “one hundred, forty one dollars, and five cents.” This is a model of how we discuss numbers and number problems. The app allows users to choose between two interfaces, one for simple math and one for more complex math, and the developer also has a version of the scientific calculator that can be downloaded. This app is fully integrated with an app called VoiceOver, and it lets you customize the words of VoiceOver using your own recorded voice. However, VoiceOver is only necessary if you are using features specifically for vision impairment. If you use Talking Calculator without VoiceOver, you can still customize the words for each number and operation. This app also allows you to view a log of your entire session, making it easier to locate calculation errors later.
Target Audience:
The Talking Calculator app is designed for users with vision impairment, because it integrates the VoiceOver app used by many people with vision impairment. However, this app can be used by anyone, and is especially useful for children with Dyslexia and Developmental Delays , or any child who needs practice with the word form of numbers and math word problems. The audio can also be turned off for normal calculator use.
