Photograph the problem. Read the steps.

Two ways to send a question

Pair your phone once and the camera becomes the fastest way in. On a laptop, crop the question straight off the screen with a keyboard shortcut and skip the phone entirely.

• •Phone: pair with a code from your computer, then photograph anything on paper
• •Computer: crop the question on screen without leaving the page you are on
• •Type it out instead if the question is short

Ask for the kind of help you actually want

The same photo can return different things. Ask for a full worked solution when you are stuck, a hint when you are nearly there, or an explanation when the answer matters less than the method.

• •Steps: the full path from the question to the answer
• •Hint: one nudge, so you finish it yourself
• •Explain: what the question is really asking and why the method fits

Built for the subjects that come as pictures

Maths that lives in notation, science with a diagram, a history prompt in a photographed worksheet. Anything you would otherwise have to retype is a better fit as a snap.

What it costs

Snap Solve needs an access key. A snap you take yourself, from your phone or the on-screen crop, has no pace timer between it and the next one, so a page of questions goes at your speed rather than the queue speed.
