As well as the standard features of a calculator (percentages, a storage memory) it features a report button, which will speak what is currently displayed on the screen - as used after typing one to eight in the recorded example. The numbers can be reported as individual digits (ie: four, six, zero, four) or as units (ie: four thousand, six hundred, four.) It can also be set to report each number as it is typed in, or only report the final amount, and has a reset button to revert to a clear memory and standard defaults for speech.
