This will be interesting for the school I work in that uses iPads. Math homework just got a lot easier.

Just like the Apple Newton!

Honestly a pretty neat idea. Feeding character recognition into a math engine. Would hope for some way to verify correct recognition. Could take it a step further and feed it to wolfram alpha to do some algebra, graphing, and other fanciness like integrals/derivatives

I’m a woodworker and if this can add and subtract handwritten fractions and convert imperial to metric, this could be a huge time saver for me.
