Disappointing

I had hoped it would do speech recognition but it is no better than the built in App provided by Apple.

Great calc. Speaks fast

Finally a Talking Calculator that speaks fast. Happy!

Very nicely done!

I have a math-obsessed autistic son. I was going to buy him a real/physical talking calculator as a gift, but this app is much less expensive and does more! Now it's his favorite "toy." He loves typing in equations and telling me the answers. And he is thrilled by hearing super-long numbers correctly read aloud when he taps on them. We will have fun recording our own voices, for sure. Support for this app is also excellent. I had a tiny issue, so contacted the creator. He updated the app immediately!

Unclear about functionality

I bought this app in hopes that it would listen, which it does not.. All it does is repeat what you enter and the answer alloud...

Excellent

Love this calculator. I have very low vision and use Voiceover most but not all of the time. This calc works with Voiceover on or off and its easy to see with invert colors on or off.
