Much better than a simple calculator. Photomath Online is a very useful application for smartphones that allows us to carry out all kinds of mathematical operations through the camera of our mobile phone. It was launched in 2014 and today it is still as practical as the first day.
This app was created by the Croatian company Microblink, specialized in text recognition software and recognized almost immediately as one of the best apps for learning, although since then it has garnered both praise and negative reviews. It is completely free and is Available for both Google Android and iOS.
Thanks to the continuous improvements of each new version, Photomath has been fine-tuning its operation, always staying one step ahead of other similar apps. One of the characteristics that distinguishes it is the possibility of seeing all the steps followed to arrive at the solution of each mathematical operation.
The idea behind Photomath Online is similar to that of language translation apps. and the middle is phone camera. Broadly speaking, its use consists of pointing with it to the mathematical operation that we see in a textbook, on paper or on the computer screen. Once the data has been "read" the application takes care of the resolution.
What is?
Above all, Photomath online is a didactic application. Through simple explanations, users can step by step master mathematical operations ranging from the most elementary to the most complex. In other words: from primary school to university.
Naturally, those who are going to get the most out of it are mathematics and exact science students, whatever the 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. You just have to digitize the problem you want to solve with the help of our 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 has been followed, step by step, to obtain the result.
This "miracle" is possible above all thanks to PhotoMath's text recognition functions. The degree of precision is enormous. 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 explain the steps (not just show them), the real key that makes this application an ideal tool to learn and progress in mathematics.
