There are talking stats capable calculators, if speech is your objective. The Orion model from www.aph.org or www.independentliving.com for about $250 is based on a TI 34 or TI 36, depending upon which documentation you read. You can get a z-score table in braille and do that the old-fashioned way if the calculator doesn't support z-scores. HTH JJ John R.

The course calls for a ti-83 or ti-84 calculator which of course isn't accessible but I'm wondering if learning something like octave or R would be too steep a learning curve for someone without stats knowledge to begin with. If not, which has the better intro documentation to get a novice up to speed quickly? Any other options I should consider. I do have a Windows terminal but Matlab looks like another sledgehammer for what intro stats will be doing.
