Photomath app is going to be the best math teaching partner for students who study from home in this covid-19 lockdown era. This app uses your phone’s camera to spot math problems on your books and gives you finished answers in seconds. Easily interpret problems with comprehensive math content from arithmetic to calculus. Just point the phone’s camera, shoot and get your answer.
The Photomath app is free and does not require an internet connection to work properly. This solves a huge problem for students who live in rural areas where internet connectivity can be a problem. Initially, Photomath could only recognize printed text but after its latest 2020 update, it can easily solve handwritten math problems.
There’s an interesting story behind the app’s success. Photomath was originally designed as a demo app for another company called MicroBlink. At the time, the team was working on text recognition technology. It planned to sell its core technology to other companies that might find it useful.
The app seems even more relevant as many kids are spending more time studying at home. They can’t simply raise their hand to call on the teacher for some help.
Photomath is free and users can optionally pay for Photomath Plus, a premium version with more features, such as dynamic illustrations and animated tutorials.
