Among the many applications that Google develops, there is Google Socratic, a very curious app that will help us learn, do our homework or solve problems and doubts that we may have about a topic.
Although it is in English and all screens appear in this language, it understands the questions you ask in Spanish.
As you will see, it is such a curious application that it will surprise you and will be very useful.
What exactly is Google Socratic?
Google Socratic is a learning application that uses Google’s powerful Artificial Intelligence. So that? To help you with your school, college or university homework.
Google Socratic recognizes common questions, formulas and problems from various subjects, majors and courses, so it is able to know what you are asking and help you with the solution.
You can download Google Socratic for free for Android and iOS.
How does Google Socratic work?
The application works through questions. You ask it and Google Socratic will try to find the best online resources to help you answer it.
And not only that. Google Socratic, in reality, is not there to do your homework for you, but rather so that you can learn in the best way the concepts of the questions you ask it.
You can ask these questions in 3 ways from the home screen of the application.
The main one is through the camera. In fact, that is the default way that Google Socratic has for you to ask the question. If, for example, you are doing a math problem, you can focus on that problem with the camera, no matter if you have it on a book, sheet of paper, or computer screen.
If you take a photo of a page with several problems or questions, you can tap your finger on the image to point out which one you need help with.
Once you choose it, Google Socratic will search the web to provide you with the best resources and pages on the topic, so that you can learn how to resolve your question.
Besides the camera, you can search in other ways.
By clicking on the magnifying glass icon on the left side of the main menu you can write the question directly.
By clicking on the microphone icon on the right side of the screen, you can ask your question using voice search.
The limitations of Google Socratic
The truth is that Google Socratic is an ingenious and innovative application. Its artificial intelligence, for example, can understand mathematical equations and operations that you show it, or identify questions and topics in a text.
However, right now, its maximum potential is for questions in English. In fact, the entire application works in this language.
Despite that, he doesn’t do too badly in Spanish for most things. Of course, don’t be surprised if, by including few words in the question, it shows you resources in Portuguese, for example, by confusing the language.
Be that as it may, Google Socratic is one of the most curious applications that we have found lately. And you don’t have to be in school or university to take advantage of it. Anyone who wants to know more about a topic can benefit from Google’s artificial intelligence to help them.
So you know, it’s always a good time to learn something new.
