Speech to Math

Dictate maths, chemistry, and physics out loud — Helperbird turns your speech into properly formatted notation.

Speak Maths, Chemistry, and Physics

Dictate notation out loud and Helperbird writes it for you. Say "x squared plus three x" and get x² + 3x. Switch to Chemistry mode for "H two O" → H₂O, or Physics mode for "nine point eight metres per second squared" → 9.8 m/s².

Three Modes for STEM

Math mode: "x squared plus three x" → x² + 3x, "square root of 72" → √72, "the integral from zero to one of x squared" → ∫₀¹ x². It covers Greek letters, fractions, exponents, roots, integrals, and more.

Chemistry mode: "H two O" → H₂O, "sulfate" → SO₄²⁻, "calcium hydroxide" → Ca(OH)₂. It even balances spoken equations and knows all 118 elements, ions, isotopes, and state symbols.

Physics mode: "ten newtons" → 10 N, "vector F" → F⃗ — units, vectors, and constants on top of everything Math mode does.
