SPOKEN MATHEMATICS Every calculation produces a spoken description in natural language. Results are read in English, French, and German, covering fractions, roots, powers, integrals, and more - exactly as a teacher would say them. DISPLAY FORMATS Results appear as rendered mathematics: exact fractions, square roots, pi-forms, scientific notation, mixed numbers, prime factorisation, and degrees-minutes-seconds. Toggle between exact and decimal form instantly.
