PhotoMath

Those people who are at odds with math now have a new tool to make their lives easier. This is the PhotoMath application, created especially for solving problems, equations and other mathematical exercises in an instant. Almost as if by magic it were treated. And it is that it is an application very agile and comfortable to solve in just a couple of seconds problems that could be a real headache for the user.

The operation of PhotoMath makes use of the photo camera of the terminal. In this way, they are able to recognize the equations and operations that are represented on paper. In just an instant, the terminal's processor recognizes, operates and displays the result on the screen. A surprisingly fast process that makes things much easier for users less knowledgeable in this matter. All this in real time, without the need to wait to receive the result or lose sight of the operation on the terminal screen.

Just start the application to activate the terminal's camera. A red box is automatically displayed that helps the user to frame that operation that he wants to solve.With only a second of focusing and recognition, the result appears in red at the bottom of the screen. Of course, it must be taken into account that this application is not capable of processing all kinds of operations, being limited to the arithmetic expressions (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division ), fractions and decimals, roots and powers, and simple equations A pretty wide scope anyway.

But the virtues of this application do not end here. Far from being a convenient tool for solving problems automatically, it also has a very interesting didactic section. Thus, it is possible to click on the Steps button at the bottom of the screen, once the problem has been resolved, to access all the steps to obtain the resolution. In this way, by clicking on the arrows, it is possible to see what has been the route and the small operations that have led to PhotoMathto offer this or that figure.Something that can be appreciated comfortably to learn to reason and reach the same conclusion.

Lastly, it is possible to collect a history of operations and solved equations to review at any time. A convenience for those more complex problems that have to be solved by steps and in which you want to return to any of them or their results thanks to this application.

Of course, as its developer says, this application is not magic, being able to find equations and problems no result Also, keep in mind that it is only able to recognize printing mathematical characters Therefore, the Hand counting is outside the capabilities of this tool, at least for now.

In short, a useful and surprising tool for its agility and operation.It is not completely foolproof, but it is functional and can help you understand a lot of operations. But the best part is that PhotoMath is completely free It is developed for devices Windows Phone and iOS, and can be downloaded via Windows Phone Store and App Store It is also expected to be released soon for Android
