Product Description

Things just not adding up? Naturally; what you need is a talking calculator! It'll audibly guide you through every aspect of your calculation, and announce the answer in a clear, human voice. The raised, large buttons are easy to identify by touch because of ample space between each one, and of course there's the customary dot on the 5 key. Basic operations such as Plus and Minus are to the right of the numbers, and advanced functions such as Percent and Repeat are to the left. And with extra-large print on both the buttons and the display, anyone who's visually impaired will have no trouble seeing what they're doing.

This calculator lets you perform all basic math operations, and has support for ten-digit questions and answers. When you're finished working something out, or if you get interrupted when you're right in the middle of a long and involved calculation, you can always save your work to its built-in memory for later retrieval. It can also speak each answer digit-by-digit or whole numbers ... but that's just the beginning.

Our calculator also has a talking alarm clock built right into it. And, unlike most other talking calculators on the market, ours actually speaks the time and even audibly guides you through setting the time and alarm (instead of just flashing instructions on the screen.

Balancing the books or grocery shopping just got a whole lot easier with our large, desktop talking calculator, which uses two AAA batteries (not included).
