Hi Jenine, Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to copy text into the calculator. A feature I would really like to see is something similar to the calculate line feature found in the Braille 'N Speak, Braille Lite, etc. Some programmability would also be great, but PDI has never gotten back with me as to when or if such features would be available.
