    Photomath

    Google

    Scan a math problem with your camera for step-by-step solutions.

    A mobile math app that solves problems scanned with a smartphone camera, using OCR and AI to recognize handwritten and printed equations from arithmetic through calculus. It returns detailed step-by-step explanations to help students learn the method, not just the answer.

    Worth knowing

    Acquired by Google in 2023 but still shipped as a standalone app, it solves problems from a phone-camera scan rather than typed input.
