Introduction

The Orion TI-30XS is based on the popular TI-

30XS MultiView™ Scientific

Calculator made by Texas Instruments Incorporated. It is specially modified for
accessibility for users with visual impairment. The functionality and operation of
the Orion TI-30XS are identical in all respects to the standard TI-30XS
Calculator. The only differences are additional controls, jacks, speakers, and
software for accessible feedback of the calculator's output and the user's input.

Calculator from Texas Instruments Incorporated is referred to as the TI-30XS.
The Orion TI-

30XS MultiView™ Talking Scientific Calculator is referred to as the

Orion TI-30XS.

In order to make this document accessible for all users, we indicate keys on the
TI-30XS portion of the calculator with a bold font. For visual and audio
clarification purposes, we also use brackets around the words or symbols for a
particular keys, 2nd functions, or menu items when necessary. For example, the
key marked "sto right arrow" (store) is designated as

[sto right arrow]

and the

2nd function marked "right arrow %" is designated as

[right arrow %]

.

Everything within the brackets is one key press.

If using the NVDA screen reader, it is recommended that you change the default
setting from "read

some

punctuation" to "read

most

punctuation" for the best

listening comprehension of this guide.
