What is EquatIO?
Made to help mathematics and STEM teachers and students at all levels, EquatIO® lets everyone create mathematical equations, formulas, Desmos graphs and more on their computer or Chromebook.
Input’s easy. Type, handwrite, or dictate any expression, with no tricky coding or maths languages to master. There’s a huge library of ready-made expressions to save you time, from simple formulas to complex functions. And when you’re done, just add the math to your document with a click.
Equatio instantly turns your thoughts into clear, accurate on-screen formulas. When you type ‘sq’, it knows that you mean ‘square root’. And it listens, too. When you dictate a formula aloud, Equatio is smart enough to ignore ‘umms’, ‘errs’ and other unwanted non-math words.
More than a replacement for pen and paper, Equatio makes math and other STEM subjects engaging and rewarding for every student.
