Calculate and lay-out running measurements.
This Calculator is designed to lay out running measurements on-site.
Please visit with a Phone or Tablet and use Speech to mark out measurements.
On a device capable of speech recognition, tap
Start Listening and say
Next - Back - Repeat - Stop to navigate the list and speak the running measurements.
After each result is spoken, wait a second or two before speaking the next command. (watch for the microphone icon at top of screen)
This is experimental - please Let us know what you think.

Enter measurements in inches. Enter fractions using a space between inch, fraction and fraction segments, eg: 23 3 4 = 23.75.
Enter Total Length, Centers and Start Point and tap Calculate to generate the list of running measurements.
Tap 'Next' and 'Back' buttons to step through the list on you phone or tablet.
Tap 'Lock' to lock the screen, so it will not scroll when you tap. The inputs are extra large for easy data entry, and the display is large
so you can see it more easily in sunlight.
Tap any measurement in the displayed list to jump directly to that measurement in the large display.
On calculator pages that create running measurement lists (roof framing, stairs, baluster etc), click the 'Mark-out' links near each list to open
a page similar to this to step through and mark out the running measurements. (Speech enabled on Phone or Tablet)

If you're cutting blocks, concrete, stone or
ANYTHING and there's
DUST - DON'T TAKE THE RISK
Don't cut it, or cut it wet so there's
NO DUST -
Silicosis Sucks
And if you're cutting wet, wear a mask - theres dust in the spray mist too!
What do we think? - They're 2 different things:
A
Meter is a device to measure things - like a Volt Meter or a Parking Meter
A
Metre is about 3'-3~3/8"
Although diameter and perimeter as measurements - don't seem to fit very well
If the US ever goes Metric, you'll be able to use a Meter to measure Meters - A Meter Meter
(And when we go back to the moon, let's go Metric, ay?)
