Customer Review: Inaccessible so I threw it away
Unlike some higher end Casio calculators this one has a readable screen - sort of - at least it has acceptable contrast. However, the icons look cheap ( low resolution ). The unit is very, very solid. It can survey a lot of abuse, dropping, etc. ( see below )

It does not come with a printed manual and the extremely basic printed get started manual is almost worthless. It is sometimes counterintuitive to use as navigation is inconsistent. I got stuck in a menu and couldn’t get out of it. I let a friend look at it and she didn’t progress either. Eventually we figured it out. ( what we figured out was that it was a pain - bad human factors, to say the very least. )

Unfortunately, it has blinking cursors and as soon as I got to that point I had fairly bad seizures. My friend was there and I had to have her go away as I am just trying to maintain through the pain in my head. ( these are complex/simple partial seizures which feel like a shock through my brain or getting hit with a rubber mallet. Once is enough, several were way too many.

I was unwilling ( and very afraid ) to experiment since I got clobbered immediately. She wanted to play with it but I didn’t even want to be tempted to use it again so I stripped everything useful and threw the calculator in the garbage on the curb.

There is NO excuse for products to be inaccessible in this manner ( or any other manner ). Calculators are necessary for students and they shouldn’t be exposed to this type of product. ( BTW, Texas Instruments calculators are hopeless, too. I have a box of them that I can use due to blinking. I contacted TI about the lack of accessibility and, of course, never got a meaningful response )

If we assume that one or two persons in ten thousand have problems ( epilepsy 1 or 2 in 100 and photosensitive epilepsy 1-5 per 100 ), we are talking about many thousands of people that will have problems.( This whole area of expertise is very obscure, unless you have a spectacular seizure that can be clearly associated with a particular stimulus, doctors are going to miss this problem. I know, I told doctors many, many years ago about fluorescent lights and video display terminals and I still can’t get help or accessibility. NOW WITH EVERYTHING BLINKING THE PROBLEM IS 100 TIMES WORSE )

Maybe you are next? Green is not just a color, it is a philosophy. Blinking is not green.

My friend ( who helps me with my disabilities ) said I probably shouldn’t even buy anything more since I have problems with 100% of modern electronic equipment. She is probably right. Digital cameras are particularly offensive. I purchased a Fuji camera and , again, I couldn’t use it. Big bucks down the drain. I have one of the small Casio EX-V8 digital cameras and the jury is still out on it. An inferior camera compared to Nikon ( very inaccessible ) or Canon ( inaccessible ) digital cameras.

Accessibility is the LAW and so is accommodation. I assume the problem is that all of these companies outsource their software to unqualified ( from a point of accessibility and, maybe, human factors ) programmers. Their cheapness costs us money.

That’s trickle down economics - the profits rise to the top and the rest of us get disabled.
