Equation solver by Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) / Ahmad Azzim Mashuri

Nowadays, calculators are widely used just like computers and mobile phones. Since the invention of abacus, the calculator has evolved from a machine that could only perform simple calculation into one that can solve complex calculation. Despite the fact that every smartphone have built in calculator, most of them can only perform simple calculation. Even though there are several applications on scientific calculator, most of them are not user friendly. Based on the observation, there are several existing systems that use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to recognize handwritten text and solve mathematical problem. Since OCR is a powerful tool to recognize handwritten text, proposed system will use this tool to recognize human handwriting and solve basic mathematical problem as well as linear equations. For the future work, this proposed application is looking forward to solve more complex and various kind of mathematical problems. This application may assist user especially students to solve mathematical problem accurately and faster.
