Use PhotoMath to Solve Basic Math Problems Using Your Camera

PhotoMath application

Yes, you can easily do Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with the help of a basic calculator. But what about other problems? Though you can just look at the end of the book to get the answers, but what if you could get the answer with solution right from your Smartphone? A new PhotoMath app for iOS can help you solve basic math problems like Linear equations or Fraction with just the use of your Camera. The App uses your Smartphone’s camera to scan the problem and provides a solution with steps. Currently the app can solve arithmetics, decimals, fractions, roots, powers, linear equations and functions like a log, sin, exp, cos. This is not made to help solve advance mathematics so it won’t help you with any university or more complex problems, but it can be helpful if you have children at home and need help with homework. The app cannot scan hand written work only printed problems.

Its working is quite simple. Just launch the app and point the camera towards the equation. While reading some dots will appear on the screen and after that the answer will appear. You can tap on steps to learn how the equation was solved, perfect for learning. If app cannot read properly, you can tap on flash below the screen to turn the flash on. You can tap on arrow button to see all the previously solved problems it will remember all solved problems. The app works perfectly with minor flaw, the time it takes to read can be a bit longer depending on the environment provided, though with perfect situation it will take no longer than a second.
