Photomath
Photomath is a mobile application described as a "camera calculator",[3] which utilizes a phone's
camera to recognise mathematical equations and to display the step-by-step solution onscreen.[4] It
is available for free on Google Android and iOS.[5] The application was released in 2014 by
Microblink, a company based in Zagreb, Croatia, with a registered office in London, United
Kingdom.[6][7][8] The company specializes in text recognition software.[9]
As of 2016, apart from printed texts, it also recognizes handwriting[10] and provides steps for the
mathematical equation.[11]
Since 2017, Photomath has been operating as a separate company.
It was included on the list of top 20 best teaching and learning apps placing third.[12][13] It received
both praise and criticism from teachers.[14]
