PhotoSolve

PhotoSolve is a homework help tool. PhotoSolve scans homework questions through a Chrome extension or its iOS and Android apps, returning answers with explanations from a custom model. Pro adds unlimited questions and access to Tutoor, which turns uploaded notes, files and videos into chats, summaries, quizzes and flashcards.

PhotoSolve is a study aid built around a single action: point a camera at a question and get an answer back. The core product is split across a Chrome extension, an iOS app and an Android app, so the same scanning workflow is available whether a student is working on a laptop or a phone. The company says more than ten million questions have been answered and reports over two million downloads with a 4.8 rating on Google Play. An in-house model, trained on what the site describes as real exam data, sits behind the answers, and Pro users unlock unlimited questions plus more detailed explanations. The tool goes beyond raw answer lookup. Tutoor, a companion learning space included with Pro, accepts uploaded files, notes, web pages, YouTube links, lectures and textbooks, then turns that material into chat answers, quick notes, voice conversations, practice quizzes and flashcards. A separate Homework Solver page runs questions through several external models (including GPT-4 Turbo, Claude 3 Opus, Gemini Pro 1.5 and Mistral Large) alongside PhotoSolve's own model, so a student can compare outputs. That multi-model approach is the clearest point of difference from single-model study chatbots. In practice the service is aimed at secondary school and university students working through maths, science and reading assignments, and the site also mentions teachers, researchers and writers. The workflow is quick: capture, read the explanation, then ask follow-up questions. A stealth mode in the browser extension is marketed for keeping activity private and blocking trackers, which is a feature worth weighing carefully given the academic context. PhotoSolve competes with general photo-solving apps and with broad chatbots that accept image uploads. Its pitch rests on a specialised model and a bundled study suite rather than on general conversation, which makes it a reasonable fit for students who want explanations alongside answers, and a weaker fit for anyone needing deep subject coverage outside standard coursework.
