In their own words
MathPad
MathPad is an AI math workspace for solving, explaining, and teaching math. Its SnapSolve tool reads handwritten or printed math from a photo, then returns a step-by-step solution with CAS verification. The AI Tutor offers interactive conversations, hints, guidance, concept explanations, and work verification. A math editor supports LaTeX, AsciiMath, MathML, Typst, and MathJSON with live preview; OCR can extract equations and text together. Document conversion supports more than 21 formats, including PDF, DOCX, LaTeX, EPUB, and Jupyter notebooks. Add-ons work in Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms, while the Office add-in supports Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on desktop and Office Online. MathPad also offers public APIs for LaTeX-to-image rendering and math-format conversion. It runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows, plus an extension. The free plan has 10 daily credits and three AI Tutor trial messages per day; paid plans start at $14.99/mo.
