It's wild to think that folks believe humans need to write neatly for AI to understand. I'm definitely not one of those people. As a busy professional, I couldn't care less how my handwriting looks. I can read it, you can read it, and AI should be able to read it too. If not, I guess we don't need to worry about robots taking over the world just yet.

[@brookehiggins6879]

The AI was really good to translate the g.8 to 9.8

[@nathanaelculver5308]

You didn’t demo one of the really cool features. Write a formula such as y = 2x + 7. Tap the = and select Insert graph. You’ll get an instant graph of the line. Now change the 7 to 13, and the graph will update. The graph works, of course, with more complex formuli as well.

Also, there is no room for the answer to appear on the screen. Might be the reason why you have to bring it down for it to work since there is more space on the bottom.

[@TamasKiss-yk4st]

It's not because of the more space, it's because this is just pure programing language, there is no programing language what can answer you the a+b+c if you only declared the a and b before, and the c just after the question.. it's not magic, it's programing, with handwriting (so you must follow the basic methods of the programing too, like initialize the variable first and make the question after that, all programing language read the screen in the same order from top to bottom and from left to right, and if the last variable is under the question that is still unprocessed by the programig language, so it's unknown.

[@Mangolite]

Now I understand why we strike through the numbers 0 and 7 when we handwrite, to differentiate them from 1 and the letter O. Considering this is a beta version, there will be errors in recognizing certain characters, symbols, and numbers in our handwriting. For example, your number 1 from X = 10 m/s looks like an upside-down letter V, and your letter A is inconsistent in shape and form. Hopefully, the calculator app will improve at recognizing our unique handwritten styles. I wonder if it would help if Apple provided a list of alphabets and numbers with boxes for us to write them in our style three or four times, to improve the app or iPad's recognition system like Touch ID or Face ID.

[@paperlessmovement]

But you recognized the 1 and A. So AI will do too eventually. 🤞

[@melgross]

[@nealc8424]

The way he wrote a 1 is consistent with how Germans (and most?) Europeans write it. So the iPad “should” be able to understand that.

[@melgross]

@@nealc8424 only American English for now. That’s how Apple usually does things. Make sure it works properly with one language, the home country, then move to others once things are working properly.

[@akyhne]

The software uses simple OCR to detect the handwriting. Any decent OCR software, would have had no problems with his writing. It's not like OCR is a new thing. It has been around since the early days of computers. And Microsoft managed this 6 years ago, with Microsoft Math Solver. Comes with IOS support too.

[@loogoos4894]

Hope that Apple makes a way for its users to distinguish when it writes something. The system should know how to use the written language depending on how it was written. For example, an oval with a slash in it is a zero but a simple circle is an o. We should be able to let the system say this is how I write these items ahead of times so interpret it as this way.

[@akyhne]

The reason why I find Microsoft Math Solver to be better, is exactly because it shows you what it thought you wrote, on the fly.

Ok, so the thing that interests me the most about as a student is if it is capable to solve 2nd, 3rd grade equations or if it can do sistema of equations. Just that would be incredible, otherwise it’s just for day to day math which can regularly be done without this…

MMS also comes for IOS.

So you must declare the c too before you ask the a+b+c.. just check any programig language, it's the same (also it's read the data in the same oreder, from top to bottom and from left to right, so the c must be declared over or before, it can't be declared after or under the question), they just made it avaliable with handwriting too (also you must make your writing a bit more consistent, like if you cross the A at the middle first, than you cross the A at the top, that is basicaly can be two different char in many languages, since there are language where the Ā is exists, so you must cross the A nearly on the same spot)

I still can't understand why people think this is so impressive. You're essentially jotting down some variables, then the app makes a straight forward substitution into a formula you've defined with these listed variables, and it evaluates it. So in other words what they're saying is we've waited over a decade for some text recognition that doesn't even work half the time, and some basic code which takes those stored variables and evaluates them in terms of the formula you've stated. The way it was pitched on WWDC with that pretty projectile motion diagram felt so misleading as well - I saw it live and people were under the impression that you could draw a diagram like that and the app would automatically interpret it. Sorry, but if this is doing your physics homework for you then maybe its time to reconsider your options... its not solving anything

Well, if people who saw the demo thought the drawing added anything to the equation, then they don't know math and don't need the app anyway. It was a nice "fooled you" touch from Apple. Btw., Microsoft Math Solver is pretty advanced and can do: Elementary: arithmetic, real, complex numbers, LCM, GCD, factors, and percentages ● Pre-Algebra: radicals and exponents, fractions, matrices, determinants ● Algebra: quadratic equations, system of equations, inequalities, rational expressions, linear, quadratic and exponential graphs ● Basic Calculus: summations, limits, derivatives, integrals ● Statistics: mean, median, mode, standard deviation, permutations, combinations It can also show you how the math was solved, so you can actually get good help from the app.

Write better.
