PhotoMath App Solves Your Maths Problems By Looking At It
PhotoMath by Microblink is a real-time equation solver, built for any college student (or professional) who needs help solving math problems — or who rather just hates solving them.
The app, which is currently available for Windows Phone, allows users to point their camera at almost any math problem, press the capture button, and see accurate results displayed almost instantly on the screen — along with the steps, in order, to solving a problem.
At current, PhotoMath supports solutions for four mathematical concepts: arithmetic expressions, fractions and decimals, powers and roots, and simple linear equations. The app won’t help you solve a complex calculus problem, or a multi-variable algebraic expression (although it does support simple algebraic expressions), but for most simple math problems that you’d rather not solve because of time constraints or lack of motivation, the app works as promised.
PhotoMath is similar in concept to Word Lens, which utilizes photo recognition to translate phrases and sentences between 7 different languages, including Spanish, Russian, and German. Both apps have serious promise for simplifying concepts which once took significant time devotion to master, which is exciting to consider as the future of smartphone technology.
Support for new math is constantly added to the app.
The App is currently available on the Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 Platforms, App Store, Google Play Store and Amazon Store

- Handwritten text is not supported, only printed problems from Math textbooks.
- Math recognition and solving has further been improved.
- Added clarification about handwritten text in help screens
- Added a more clear message when using a device that does not support autofocus
- Camera macro-mode has been enabled so expect the app to have less problems focusing on close text
- Math expressions now dynamically scale to fit the screen so there is no more need for scrolling in the steps screen
