An AI math scanner uses your phone camera to photograph a math problem and then uses AI to read, understand, and solve it with step-by-step reasoning. MathScan is an AI math scanner built for iPhone that works with both printed and handwritten problems.

How the scanner works
Scan. Solve. Understand.
Three steps from camera to a complete AI explanation. No typing, no reformatting.
Scan the math problem
Open the camera in MathScan and take a clear photo. Works for printed problems from textbooks, worksheets, exams, and handwritten notebook pages.
AI reads and identifies the problem
The image is processed by OpenAI, which identifies the problem type — equation, geometry, calculus, statistics — and prepares a structured solution.
Get a full step-by-step solution
Not just the answer. The AI shows every step with clear reasoning so you understand the method, not just the result.
Keep asking until it clicks
Ask follow-up questions in the same chat thread. The scanner remembers the scanned problem and continues explaining at your level.
What the scanner handles
Scan any math problem — from algebra to calculus.
The AI math scanner covers the full range of math from school and college.
Scan algebra problems
Linear equations, quadratic equations, systems, inequalities, functions, polynomials, logarithms — scanned and solved in one step.
Scan geometry problems
Area, angles, triangles, circles, coordinate geometry, proofs — the scanner reads the problem text and diagram descriptions.
Scan calculus problems
Derivatives, integrals, limits, and differential equations scanned directly from textbooks or handwritten notes.
Scan statistics problems
Probability, distributions, hypothesis testing, regression — photograph the problem and get the full statistical solution.
Scan handwritten math
The AI scanner reads handwritten equations accurately, not just printed text. Notebook pages and handwritten worksheets work too.
Scan word problems
Photograph the word problem text and the AI extracts the math structure, sets up equations, and solves step by step.
FAQ
Questions about the AI math scanner.
Accuracy depends on image clarity. For printed problems, the scanner is highly accurate. For handwritten problems, clear and legible handwriting gives the best results. If the AI misreads a symbol, you can correct it in the follow-up chat.
The AI math scanner handles algebra, equations, geometry, trigonometry, calculus (derivatives, integrals, limits), statistics, and word problems. It covers school through college-level math.
Yes. You get free problems when you first install the app, with no signup required. Additional problems are available through one-time packs and subscriptions via Apple In-App Purchase.
Yes. The AI math scanner reads handwritten math from photos. It works best when the image is clear and the handwriting is legible. Notebook pages and handwritten worksheets are fully supported.
No. Photos are sent to OpenAI only to process the problem. They are not archived on MathScan servers. See the Privacy Policy for full details.
