Mathematical Scanner (M-Scan) Mobile Application for Solving Simple Math Equations

Some math’s expressions are challenging to type in the calculator. As of this, this paper presents the necessity of developing math scanners that integrated with optical character recognition (OCR) technology for solving mathematical equations quickly and help students to cross-check their solution. The mathematical equation scanner proposed in this work can help to solve simple math equations in an efficient and timely manner. Scanners with OCR engines have been developed for different types of text recognition, and it became an interesting topic for many years. The developed application called M-Scan is an Android mobile application that is integrated with a camera. This camera simply captures the mathematical equations and solves them in a limited time. In this way, this device not only saves time but also increases accuracy with no errors.
