Photomath

Captures images of printed or handwritten math problems using a smartphone camera and converts them into digital format for processing. Uses optical character recognition (OCR) to interpret mathematical notation, equations, and problem text from photos.

Breaks down mathematical problem solutions into sequential, pedagogically-structured steps that explain the reasoning and methodology behind each operation. Provides intermediate calculations and conceptual explanations for how to progress from problem to solution.

Solves mathematical problems across a comprehensive range of difficulty levels and domains, from basic arithmetic through advanced calculus, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and statistics. Adapts solution complexity to the problem's mathematical level.

Allows users to manually type or input mathematical equations and problems when camera recognition fails or for problems that are difficult to photograph. Provides a text-based alternative to image capture for problem entry.

Processes recognized or input math problems and generates complete solutions within seconds, leveraging offline computation capabilities for fast response times. Delivers answers immediately without requiring internet connectivity for most operations.

Generates visual representations of mathematical problems and solutions, including graphs, plots, and geometric diagrams. Helps students understand problems visually and see the relationship between equations and their graphical representations.

Manages tiered access to features through a subscription model, offering free basic functionality with limited explanations and premium tiers ($9.99/month or $59.99/year) that unlock full step-by-step solutions and advanced features.

Maintains a record of previously solved problems within the app, allowing students to review past solutions, track their problem-solving progress, and revisit explanations for similar problem types.

Presents multiple approaches or methods for solving the same mathematical problem when applicable, showing students different valid pathways to reach the same answer. Helps learners understand that problems can be solved in various ways.

Parses and interprets word problems written in natural language, converting narrative descriptions into mathematical equations and then solving them. Helps students understand how to translate real-world scenarios into mathematical notation.
