Handwriting Recognition to Create Equations Using EquatIO
The handwriting recognition feature of the Google Chrome extension EquatIO converts handwritten equations and other mathematical and scientific symbols into digital and accessible characters. Select the EquatIO extension. When the toolbar opens at the bottom of the screen, select the Handwriting Recognition tool. Then, using a finger, stylus, or any other conductive tool, write the math equation or symbol in the Handwriting area. The digital character will be generated on the right in the Math area which can then be inserted into a file, like a Google Doc. The following video is a short demonstration of how to use the Handwriting Recognition function in EquatIO. At the time of this blog post’s publication, EquatIO is available to every learner in Loudoun County Public Schools.
