FAQ
Questions about solving handwritten math with AI.
MathScan works with most typical handwriting styles. The key factors are image clarity and legibility rather than a specific style. Clear, well-formed symbols and numbers give the best recognition results.
MathScan handles handwritten algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus (derivatives and integrals), statistics, and word problems from school through college level.
No. Just take a photo. MathScan reads the handwritten math directly from the image — no retyping or reformatting needed.
No. Photos are sent to OpenAI only to process the problem. They are not archived on MathScan servers. See the Privacy Policy for details.
You can correct the misread in the follow-up chat — type the correct symbol or number and ask the AI to redo the solution with the correction. The conversation stays in context.
