Best apps to solve math with camera
Much better than a simple calculator. Photomath Online is a very useful application for smartphones that allows us to carry out all sorts of mathematical operations using our cell phone's camera. It was launched in 2014 and today it remains as practical as the first day.
This app was created by the Croatian company Microblink, which specializes in text recognition software and was recognized almost immediately as one of the best apps for learning, although it has since received both praise and negative reviews. It is completely free and available for Google Android and iOS.
Thanks to the continuous improvements of each new version, Photomath has been improving its functioning, always staying one step ahead of other similar applications. One of the characteristics that distinguishes it is the possibility of seeing all the steps followed to reach the solution of each mathematical operation.
The idea behind Photomath Online is similar to language translation apps. And in the middle is the phone camera. In general terms, its use consists of pointing with it at the mathematical operation that we see in a textbook, on paper or on the computer screen. Once the data is “read”, the application takes care of the resolution.
First of all, Photomath online is a didactic application. Through simple explanations, users can master mathematical operations step by step, from the most elementary to the most complex. In other words: from primary school to university. Naturally, those who will make the most of it are math and exact science students, whatever their course or level. A tool that can become our great ally when dealing with subjects such as elementary mathematics, algebra, calculus, statistics, geometry, trigonometry, etc.
How it works?
The way to use Photomath Online is very simple. Just scan the problem you want to solve with the help of your mobile phone's camera: focus, capture and process. In a matter of seconds, the application will show us the correct result and also (this is the most important thing) the process that was followed, step by step, to obtain the result.
This “miracle” is possible mainly thanks to PhotoMath's text recognition functions. The degree of accuracy is huge. So much so that it even allows you to find the solution to problems or equations written by hand. Finally, we must highlight the additional function of explaining the steps (not just showing them), the real key that makes this application an ideal tool for learning and progressing in mathematics .
