Accessibility
Our mission at Desmos is to help every student learn math and love learning math. Not some students. Every student. With that in mind, we design our math tools to ensure students who are blind or visually impaired have the same opportunities as their peers to discover the joy of learning math. Read about all of our accessibility features at Desmos.
Graphing Calculator Accessibility: Text-to-Speech and Audio Trace
Need help configuring your screen reader on a PC, Mac, or Chromebook? We've got you covered here.
Other Calculator Accessibility: Enlarge Display, Reverse Contrast, and Braille
All of our math tools include Enlarge Display, which makes text and graphed curves larger and bolder. Access Enlarge Display by clicking on the wrench icon found in each tool.
The wrench icon also accesses our Braille options in certain tools. We support Nemeth and UEB in our Graphing, Four Function and Scientific Calculators, as well as in our Classroom Activities!
Check out our collection of Braille examples here: desmos.com/braille-examples
