Equatio, a valuable tool for the Education sphere.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We make documents, eText, and tests accessible for students with disabilities. The equation is beneficial in working on STEM classes, as it can capture equations and insert them into documents in an accessible format.
Pros
- Capture equations with the screen capture tool.
- Edit equations.
- Embed equations into documents in MathML and images with spoken text in Alt-Text.
Cons
- Easier embedding. Takes many steps.
- More chemistry/physics features.
Most Important Features
- Equation screen capture.
- Equation embedding.
Return on Investment
- I'm not the person who made the final purchasing decision, but I was the person pushing for the purchase from the beginning.

Review of Equatio by a Middle School Private School Math Teacher
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I am the only person in my organization who uses it to my knowledge. I use it to create Google Forms with math equations to assess my students' learning. Without it, writing math equations would be much more difficult because I would have to search or create a picture of one.
Pros
- Embedding math equations into Google Forms.
- Easy to understand where all the symbols are.
- Easy to read the final equation.
Cons
- I would like to try voice typing of math equations.
- I would like to type math equations in multiple colors.
- I want to be sent an infographic in my email detailing all the ways I should use Equation, but I don't yet know about it.
Most Important Features
- Embedding math equations into Google Forms.
Return on Investment
- I have never paid for Equatio.

Equatio...an easier way to write for STEM.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I am a trainer, so I use Equation when I'm demonstrating how to use it to both staff and students. Depending on the audience, I will focus on either the science or math aspects. I always start with the basics of entering data/equations, then move on to the mobile capabilities and the math space area.
Pros
- Predicting formulas.
- Providing options like speech-to-text.
- Having a whiteboard area.
Cons
- More science formulas.
- Being able to provide notation for Propane, Butane, etc.
- Creating different profiles for science or math.
Most Important Features
- Being able to use a phone to transpose class notes into a Google Doc.
- It uses a phone to take a picture of written math and turn it into editable text.
- The ease of writing math on a Chromebook.
Return on Investment
- I do not have access to these statistics.
- I know that many students find it useful.

Equatio delivers!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Equatio allows me to create visuals to go along math the math I’m doing in a very easy way. I love the ai feature and it has helped me teach fractions in a variety of ways. I’ve used it for basic fraction review, complaint fraction, fraction equivalents and adding and subtracting fractions.
Pros
- Fractions of all kinds
- Measuring angles and explaining how we get the measurement.
- Measuring geometric shapes
- Writing equations by simply speaking them
Cons
- More basic fractions
- Pattern blocks
- Tangrams
Most Important Features
- Math workspace
- Equatio Editor
- Math to
- speech
Return on Investment
- Saved me lots of time looking for what I ultimately was able to create myself with Equatio
- Mathspace is an invaluable. I wish We could assign things to the students and have them work and then send the assignment back to us. Right now we can only assign things to them.
- Being able to talk to write equations is also a huge timesaver.

Equatio- Digital Math and Science Character Input Made Easy
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
With our students using Chromebooks, it was very difficult for them to be able to digitally input math and science characters. Equatio provides a simple interface where they have multiple options on how to input- written on device, written on mobile device, autofill, typing, etc. Once the interface loads, it is very intuitive. As well, it works with Google Forms which made it a lot more feasible for our math and science departments do to online quizzes. This became a key extension during the pandemic and has continued to be used since our return.
Pros
- Input from mobile device
- Autofill equations
- Input math and science characters in Google Docs and Forms
Cons
- Mobile app to work with math space
Most Important Features
- Graphing
- Math input
- Science characters
Return on Investment
- Reduced cost on printing
- Increased ability to go paperless
