Inspiration
The arduous process of calculating derivatives and integrals every time.
What it does
It recognizes your scratch, transferring it as text to wolfram Alpha and then give the result back to you.
How we built it
We eventually build a website that can recognize one's scratch using OCR. The scratch, persumably a math question, is then delivered to Wolfram Alpha in text. The result is calculated in Wolfram Alpha and put the result back to the same interface.
Challenges we ran into
None of us really have any insights and experience working with JavaScript, so we basically build the whole thing from scratch.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Successfully incorporating a OCR in our website as well as working with various apis from different websites. Also we are proud of our adpatibility that we changed our original projections when we couldn't find a proper OCR for photo.
What we learned
We learned a lot about Javascript and node, all the way from fundamentals to constructing websites,seting up servers and connecting apis.
What's next for CalcSolver
We can increase the function of our websites by increasing the range of questions it can recognize and solve. We can also develop ios or android version so we can brought this benefit to wider demographic.
