Setup with instructions The calculator works out of the box, so no professional is needed. But the speech controls, Learn mode, and screen review take some practice. A family member or teacher can learn them from the quick start guide and manual in about an hour. That makes this a guided setup product.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This talking scientific calculator is a TI-30XS with speech added, so it reads aloud every key you press and everything on the screen, including menus, expressions, and symbols. Three extra keys above the display control volume, speech rate, pause, silence, and a Learn mode that tells you what a key does without entering it. A screen review function lets you step back and forth through the display by line, word, or character, read it all, or hear the last text spelled out. Because the display and keypad match the standard TI-30XS, a teacher who already knows that calculator can follow along. It includes earphones, a rechargeable battery that you can replace yourself, an AC adapter, and a USB flash drive with documentation. It handles fraction/decimal conversion, tables, and one- and two-variable statistics.
