Adding up figures from a bank statement, invoice or spreadsheet without switching apps

Bookkeeping often means this: a statement in one app, a calculator in another, and a lot of switching back and forth. Every switch is a chance to lose your place or retype a number wrong.

Keep the calculator running in the background

1. Open Voice Calculator and tap the mic.
2. Switch to your bank app, a PDF invoice, an email or a spreadsheet.
3. Read the numbers out as you scroll: “45 plus 120 plus 18”.
4. The Dynamic Island and Lock Screen show what you just said and the running total.
5. Tap Stop or Clear right from there when you’re done.

The app doesn’t read the other app. It only hears you. So it works with anything you can see on screen, including a photo of a paper receipt.

Where people use it

• Totalling one category of spending on a statement.
• Checking an invoice’s line items against its total.
• Stock counts in a warehouse or shop.
• Tallying daily takings.

Used this so much

As someone who uses the calculator app every 5 seconds, I have found this app such a time saver!

Privacy

Because you read the numbers aloud, think about where you are. In an office or a café, headphones with a mic help.

Keep a record

When you’re done, export the tape as CSV or text. See calculator history and export.
