 Description

EquatIO makes math digital, helping teachers and students at all levels create math expressions quickly and easily. Type or handwrite virtually any mathematical expression directly on your keyboard or touchscreen. There’s no need for any complicated code or programming languages. EquatIO instantly turns your thoughts into clear, accurate on-screen formulas. When you type ‘sq’, it knows that you mean ‘square root’. And it listens, too. When you dictate a formula aloud, EquatIO is smart enough to ignore ‘umms’, ‘errs’ and other unwanted non-math words.


 How it works

You can add math expressions in five main ways:

  • 1. Equation Editor - type expressions directly into the working document
  • 2. LaTex - use LaTex to create expressions
  • 3. Graph Editor - use the Desmos-powered graph editor to create single or multiple graphs and edit tables or plots of points
  • 4. Handwriting Recognition - handwrite math expressions for EquatIO to convert into text
  • 5. Speech Input - dictate your math for EquatIO to convert into text


 Features
  • Dictate, type, or handwrite complex mathematical equations
  • Have complex mathematical equations read back to you by using the sister tool, Read&Write for Mac, Windows, and/or Google Chrome

 Affordances
