MicroBlink’s PhotoMath is an app that makes solving maths equations as simple as taking a picture. PhotoMath can solve math equations by scanning them through the device’s camera. The app then provides the steps to solve the captured equation. The developers of the app wanted to create a more useful and powerful calculator.
PhotoMath
The PhotoMath app has an enlarged interface so that the users have a centric approach to solve the equation on the device’s camera. The app just recognises the mathematical expressions and works out the answer and provides the necessary steps to solve them. The app was developed to help children.Math being one of the harest subjects for most of the children. It is limited to middle school level of maths. The PhotoMath app is available for at the Play Store. The app is absolutely free.
Solve Equations using PhotoMath
The step-by-step approach provided by this wonder app seems to be magical to students. It is specially beneficial to students who do not have tutors to help them with solving mathematical equations. Parents too can make use of the app to teach their children. The app uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to read the equation. It then calculates and provides the solution within seconds. There is the red frame in the app that you have to use to capture the equation.
PhotoMath Features

As one of PhotoMath’s innovations it uses MicroBlink’s proprietary mobile vision technology. The technology automatically recognises text of the math problem. It does very accurate and fast text recognition on mobile device. The catch is that it does all these without an internet connection. The developers had to implement high complex algorithms to do the image processing and text recognition. Also the step-by-step approach to solving math problems makes it easier for developers to upgrade the app with more working functionalities.

PhotoMath App Limitations
The app has certain limitations to read math problems. The app can read only printed text. Therefore handwritten notes cannot be read and solved using PhotoMath. Sometime the app mistakes the variable ‘X’ for multiplication symbol. Also there may sometimes be no spacing between two math problems that makes it difficult for the red frame to capture the problem precisely.
