About VOCalc

VOCalc brings you a basic calculator which you can use without reading glasses.

The user interface is designed with readability for low vision users in mind. For this, high contrast and big clear fonts are used.

VOCalc is optimized for use with VoiceOver.

Calculator features:

Expression entry is done with formula visible, like 2x(5-4). This way you always know where the result comes from and can verify the input.

Access to past calculations is only one button away as history is saved as you go. Previous expressions can be seamlessly modified for new calculations.
