Dragon does a good job with selecting the command buttons.

It's a freebie and it is also an audible graphing calculator - you can download the software. Here is a link: <a href="http://www.wintriangle.com/">http://www.wintriangle.com/</a>. This is software designed for the blind, however it is a really good job with graphing and I will experiment with whether or not Dragon will work with it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In Equation Grapher, by clicking in the text boxes below the Y equals formula, Dragon will enter numbers.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Foo Plot does not work at all with Dragon.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Function Grapher would work if you used the math type plug-in for Microsoft Word and did a cut and paste.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>G Calc does not work with Dragon at all.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Graphing calculator looks beautiful – doesn't work with Dragon at all.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Graphical Function Explorer not only allows you to use the spell function and Dragon in the text box, but there is a list of vocabulary below to refer to.
