Photomath scans math problems using a smartphone camera and provides step-by-step explanations. It recognizes printed text and handwriting from textbooks, worksheets, or notes. The app breaks down solutions to show the process, including multiple methods where applicable. Core focus centers on understanding the 'what,' 'why,' and 'how' behind each step. Differentiation comes from combining AI with input from mathematicians and former teachers for detailed reasoning. Basic version offers camera scanning, explanations, scientific calculator, and graphs at no charge. Photomath Plus adds animated tutorials, word problem guidance, and textbook solutions.
