Honestly, I didn't believe before that you could just take a photo of a problem and get an immediate solution. But by 2025, that's already a reality. Neural networks have learned to recognize not only printed text but also handwriting, formulas, and even complex drawings. The smartphone has become an assistant that works around the clock.

I tested several popular services. Photomath is a classic if you need a solution to a math problem from a photo. Point the camera at the example, and within a second, you see the answer and a step-by-step explanation. However, it only solves math, physics, and chemistry problems.

Wolfram|Alpha handles math best. It doesn't just give answers but performs full calculations with graphs. Integrals, differential equations, statistics — everything works. But it only recognizes photos in the paid version.

Mathway is similar to Photomath but has a more user-friendly interface. Mathway is good for students; everything is simple and quick. Symbolab is a bit more complex but better suited for university students — detailed explanations, like a teacher.

If you need solutions from photos not only for math but also for physics and chemistry, MathGPT covers those subjects too. Free, no registration required, though the interface is in English. Gauth is also versatile — they’ve added biology, economics, and languages.

And if you want everything in one place, BotHub provides access to different neural networks immediately: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude. You can use different models for various tasks.

Overall, the choice depends on what you need to solve. For school math, Photomath or Mathway is enough. For serious science, Wolfram|Alpha. For everything in general — universal AI like ChatGPT or Gemini. Each tool is good in its own way.
