Camculator vs Snapculator

Camculator uses the video camera of your iPhone/iPad to solve simple math problems for you. Camculator can solve multiple math problems simultaneously in real time. By using advanced Optical Character Recognition, Camculator is able to recognize even some handwritten problems (*). It is also possible to solve math problems directly from a monitor or other display. Start the Camculator app and point your iPhone/iPad to an equation that you need solved or verified. When the problem is too small, just move the camera closer to the equation until it is recognized and solved. Use the pause button to pause the current picture when needed. Currently Camculator only supports the following mathematical operators: x, *, +, -, :, (, ) More operators will be added in future versions. Note that Camculator will not recognize ALL fonts and problems. It will do it’s best to read and solve your problems, but success is not guaranteed! A small white circle will be displayed at characters that can be parsed. A red circle will be displayed for all unknown characters. Enjoy! (*) Not all handwritings can be recognized, depends on your style. Some tips to make your handwriting better readable by Camculator: • Use a black pen • Close all loops that should be closed (for instance the zero) • Make sure all character lines are not broken • All digits should be about the same size

• Photograph a page and the figures it reads are calculated for you (photos from your library work too) • Every figure it reads is underlined on the photo. The color of the underline shows at a glance which figures were counted, which were left out (dates, addresses, document numbers), and which are worth a second look. • On a table, it recognizes the columns — unit price × qty = amount and the like — and warns you when what it calculates doesn't match what's printed. • If it read the wrong part of the page, you can point out the area you want read. • When something couldn't be read at all, you can add the figure yourself while looking at the photo. • A plain calculator is built in, so this one app covers it when you just want to work something out on the spot. • To work a scanned total against another number, a calculator opens across the bottom half of the screen, so you can keep calculating with the photo still in view.
