How one math problem turns into a useful explanation.
Switch between the main parts of the product: chat, photo solving, and plans. Each view shows the same thing users care about most, which is getting help quickly and understanding the next step.
MathScanChat
Student
Solve: sin x = 1/2 on the interval 0°-360°.
MathScan AI
We are looking for the angles where sine equals 1/2.
x = 30° or x = 150°
Follow-up
And why not 330°?
Explanation
Because sine is negative in the fourth quadrant. The chat remembers context and jumps straight to the exact step you want clarified.

MathScanPhoto Flow
Take a photo or choose one from your library
MathScan accepts a problem photo from a worksheet, notebook, whiteboard, or textbook.
1
The image goes into analysis
The app extracts the text and structure of the problem from the photo.
2
OpenAI processes the content
The image is not stored by MathScan, only processed to produce the answer.
3
The solution comes back
The user receives the result, commentary, and next steps in the same chat.
Problem photo: "Find the area of a triangle with sides 13, 14, 15"
MathScan computes the semiperimeter, applies Heron's formula, and shows every stage instead of jumping to the final number.
Take a photo and skip the typing.
This is the fastest path for worksheets, notebooks, and textbook exercises. One clear photo is enough to start, and the answer comes back as a full explanation instead of a bare result.
- Multiple photos can support one question
- Clear flow: photo → analysis → answer
- Photos are not stored on MathScan servers
- The result comes back as a full educational explanation
