I have covered several apps to help individuals with math, but I haven’t written about any Chrome extensions. If you’re looking for an online tool, check out the EquatIO Chrome Extension.
The EquatIO Chrome Extension is a “perfect partner for Google Docs plus Sheets, Forms, Slides, and Drawings.” The extension lets you add mathematical equations, formulas and more to documents with a simple click!
One neat feature about this extension is it allows you to dictate formulas and equations aloud. It transforms your spoken input into written expressions. “It even ignores those ‘umms’ and ‘errs'” if you get lost for words.
In addition to spoken input, you can also handwrite equations on your device, and the add-on will create “beautifully formed mathematical expressions.” Please note, this feature is only available on the premium version. However, prior to committing to a subscription to the extension, you’re able to try it out for free for 30 days.
