Considered Both Products
Equatio
Chose Equatio
Each product has benefits over the other. MathType's older versions had their head and shoulders above their competition. Their new version removed a lot of features, integration, and capabilities. Equatio is starting to take the lead over MathType and is evolving constantly.
Chose Equatio
It doesn't. I think Mat Type is superior.

Everway (formerly Texthelp and n2y)
If I have a student doing higher-level math, Equatio would be my recommended tool for digital access. However, it has too many options and would be confusing for younger students. Kami, Google Docs, or Kiwi Write math would be better for those students. It is also very pricey, so we would choose a cheaper tool to do the job.

Everway (formerly Texthelp and n2y)
Anytime I have had an issue with text help software, the support team is always very helpful. When necessary, we have phone conversations or video meetings to troubleshoot the situation. This means that the solution happens very quickly. Often, they ask me for a screenshot or video to help them replicate the issue.

Return on Investment
Everway (formerly Texthelp and n2y)
  • Saved me lots of time looking for what I ultimately was able to create myself with Equatio
  • Mathspace is an invaluable. I wish We could assign things to the students and have them work and then send the assignment back to us. Right now we can only assign things to them.
  • Being able to talk to write equations is also a huge timesaver.
