The mobile-to-desktop problem
Using Photomath during a desktop Canvas quiz means: pick up phone, point at screen, scan question, read answer, type it into the quiz. This is slow, physically visible, and does not work well with text-heavy questions.
ExamClutch reads the question from the page and provides the answer automatically. No phone needed.
Who should choose what
Pick Photomath for solving math homework on paper or from textbooks. Pick ExamClutch for inline quiz answering on your computer during timed LMS assessments.
