Photomath uses optical character recognition (OCR) and computer vision to detect and parse handwritten or printed math problems captured via a device camera. The parsed problem is then processed through a math-solving engine capable of handling a wide curriculum range — from arithmetic to calculus — and returns structured, multi-step solution paths. The app also includes a smart calculator for manual problem input. Multiple solution methods may be surfaced for the same problem, reflecting different pedagogical approaches. The platform is delivered as a consumer mobile app (iOS and Android) with no public-facing API documented at this time.
