The app can only work with printed text, and will not work on hand written equations, reports Forbes. Microblink plans to use PhotoMath's technology to build online apps for banking in future, adds Forbes. This is a video by explaining in detail how PhotoMap works.PhotoMath from MicroBLINK on Vimeo.
