Human Calculator: Oriya app review: math for humans!

Introduction

Human Calculator: Oriya is, in the words of the developer, “where mathematics meets language,” providing a gentler and more easily comprehendible way of using mathematics in your everyday life without having to use convoluted scientific notation devices.

The best iPad apps for calculators

I absolutely love the concept behind this app because it provides a more realistic approach to math that the typical layperson should easily be able to get their head around; kudos to the developer for coming up with such a novel-yet-awesome idea!

Numbers Meet Words

What we have here is a calculator that has been designed for ordinary people who haven’t used scientific notation since school, wherein all you have to do is type in a number in words and use basic mathematical symbols to perform calculations.

The best iPad apps for tracking bills

For the most part, you should have no trouble using this app even if you’ve got next to no experience when it comes to using mathematics in your day to day life, and there is minimal margin for error providing you can type with a reasonable degree of accuracy! 

Ten to the What Now?!

Human Calculator: Oriya is great for making sense of obscenely large numbers without using complicated notation and esoteric symbols, so you won’t have to wonder what something like “ten to the twelve” means in order to comprehend astronomical figures.
