LetĄ¯s face it -- doing homework used to really suck during our school days. However, if you have kids now, this experience would have only intensified while not only forcing them to do what you hated once as a kid, while also being clueless with many things that they ask you about it, during the process.
However, what if I told you that Google has created an app just for that? I know it sounds too good to be true, but it actually exists. Dubbed Socratic, the app uses the magic of AI (artificial intelligence) to help kids tackle challenges in their homework.
The app currently helps kids in subjects like Algebra, Biology, Chemistry, Geometry, and Trigonometry. It allows students to use voice recognition to ask the answer to academics-related question. For mathematical problems, it also has the ability to use the camera on the smartphone to click the picture of the problem and the AI shows the child how to solve it.
The Socratic app consists of over 1,000 subject guides on higher school topics such as Biology, Physics, Algebra, Geometry, Fiction, and Non-Fiction.?
It also harnesses the wide library of YouTube to show educational content while providing an interactive experience to students. The app also has a plethora of in-house answers for answering to basic questions instantly.
Initially, the Socratic app was standalone and was available for free on GoogleĄ¯s Play Store. Google recently acquired it in 2019 while pulling it out from the Play Store. In 2019, Google released the app with a new look and some new features on AppleĄ¯s App Store and after much waiting, the app has made its way back to the Play Store.?
Now parents and students can download the app for free on the Play Store on Android devices running on Android 5.0 or higher.? ??
