Mathematic Tools
Proposal for GoodNotes: Automatic Math Tool Insertion
Feature: Automatically insert math tools (formulas, diagrams, graphs) based on handwriting or user input.
Key Functions:
1. Math Expression Recognition:
• OCR (Handwriting recognition): Automatically detects math formulas (e.g., ) and converts them into standard math notation.
• Symbols and Special Characters: Recognizes math symbols (e.g., roots, fractions, Greek letters) and formats them correctly.
2. Math Tools Insertion:
• Formula Editor: Allows users to insert and edit complex math formulas.
• Graphs & Diagrams: Automatically generates graphs (e.g., for ) and inserts them into notes.
• Geometric Shapes: Quick insertion of geometric shapes (e.g., circles, triangles).
3. Interactive Features:
• Dynamic Math: Users can manipulate graphs or formulas directly in the notes (e.g., move vectors, zoom graphs).
• Calculations: Automatically computes derivatives or integrals when a function is input.
4. Customization:
• Tool Palette: Customizable math tools that users can access quickly.
• Auto-Suggestions: Based on input, GoodNotes suggests related math tools (e.g., graph for a function).
Benefits:
• Efficient: Automatically formats and inserts math tools, saving time.
• User-Friendly: Intuitive interface for quick math tool insertion.
• Flexible: Easily editable formulas and graphs directly in notes.
This feature would streamline the process for students, teachers, and professionals who frequently work with math in GoodNotes!
