MyScript Calculator

MyScript Calculator asks for a little patience and repays it with a very natural trick: you write the equation by hand, and it recognises the symbols and computes the result. By our assessment, that handwritten input is what sets it apart, because it feels closer to paper than to tapping buttons in a standard calculator. The downside is that handwriting recognition always depends on the clarity of the writing and the complexity of the expression, so messy input can slow things down. In practice it is satisfying for quick sums, schoolwork and rough notes, especially when typing a long expression would be more annoying than writing it. It sits between a basic calculator and a note-taking tool, and it is strongest when the equation itself is the thing you already have on the page.
