Equatio is a powerful digital equation editor that lets you create accessible formulas, equations, and graphs by converting typed, handwritten, or spoken math into clear, screen-readable content. ODU has purchased an institutional license, so all faculty, staff, and students have access to the tool's pro features.
Accessing Equatio
Equatio can be accessed from your Google Chrome Browser for applications that run in Chrome (e.g., Google Docs, Microsoft Word or PowerPoint online, etc.), from your desktop/computer for applications that run on your desktop (e.g., Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, etc.), or from the Canvas Rich Content Editor (RCE).
