Now this gives your teacher or professor another reason to ban smartphones inside the classroom as the app PhotoMath, also known as the “smart camera calculator”, can help you solve math problems using your smartphone’s camera and some real-time text recognition.
PhotoMath is simple and easy to use. Just fire up the app, point your smartphone’s camera to the math problem and it will give you the answer in a matter of seconds. In addition, it can also show you step by step solving so you can see how the math expressions and equations were solved. Watch the video below to see it in action.

For now, PhotoMath can solve basic arithmetic expressions, fractions and decimals, powers and roots, and simple linear equations. The makers of the app, Microblink, are planning to add more features in the future so this should be exciting.
PhotoMath is currently available for iOS and Windows Phone as a free download. The Android version will arrive in early 2015.
Jesus Christ!!!! if i only have this 15 years ago!
This is really a handy app for students having difficulty with simple math problems. I just hope students will use this as a study aid and not as a messianic answering machine capable of absolving them of their responsibilities as students. Anyway, perish the thought if you’re really pressed for time.
Ren, ang tanga ng reply mo promise. It’s like you posted for the sake of posting without even thinking it through.
engineer padin sila. . atleast kung gipit na sila sa oras di may makaka2lon sa kanila. Time is gold ren. mas madali masaya. . . FACE THE FUTURE.
no brainer… paano na ang mga future cpa’s and engineers.
ginawa lang yang app para mapadali trabaho ng tao, di naman iaalow sa mga exam yan, pano kung di mo alam ang sagot at nahihirapan ka sagutin at gusto mo mkita kung paano ung solution, syempre ggmitin mo tong app tapos mkkita mo na yung answer, at least nkita mo sa app kung paano nasolve ung equation, saka di naman sila aasa sa instant answer, so kapag final exam na, no cellphone allowed, sa tingin mo kaya massolved nya, syempre hindi, ginawa lang yang app para makita mo kung ano solution sa mga hirap sa pagsolved ng solution, this app make our lives easier! :)
Being a CPA or an Engineer is not all about Math, they analyze, scrutinize and apply scientific, analytical and professionally-accepted principle and theories that were intended to the betterment of the organization they’re involved in. Cheers.
Somewhat similar to the Big Bang Theory App but only for Differential Equations.

I guess they drew inspiration from that episode on The Big Bang Theory.
Then again, this is more the reason why teachers ban cellphones during exams.
Hi Louie,
How about word problem in mathematics? Integral/Differential Calculus? Is this solvable using this apps?
Thanks!
