Rest of the Day: OneNote Can Help You With Your Math Homework
If you have a Windows 10 touchscreen device like Surface, OneNote can now recognize handwritten math equations and even help you find solutions.
The new math trainer will convert your text to text and then suggest the next steps to solve the equation. (I’m guessing this only works with simple algebra; sorry, quantum mechanics professors are looking for a math shortcut.) This feature is available to Office 365 subscribers using OneNote for Windows 10. See the demo below. [Office Blog]
