Question 1

How do I check my work with ShowYourWork?

Accepted Answer

Give it the same problem you solved, and it produces an independent step-by-step solution you can compare against yours line by line. Grader mode goes further: submit your own attempt and it marks the errors with teacher-style red ink and explains where the reasoning went sideways.

Question 2

Can it tell me which step I got wrong, not just that I am wrong?

Accepted Answer

That is the point of grader mode. Instead of a right or wrong verdict, it identifies the line where the work diverges and explains the specific mistake, whether that is a sign error, a dropped unit, or a misapplied rule.

Question 3

Can I upload a photo of my handwritten work to check?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Photo input works for your own written attempt as well as for printed problems. Legible handwriting and even lighting help a lot, since the model has to read your work before it can grade it.

Question 4

Is this a show work calculator?

Accepted Answer

It behaves like one but is not limited to arithmetic. Any problem you can state, in math or science, comes back as full written work rather than a single number, which is what most people actually mean when they search for a calculator that shows the work.

Question 5

Should I trust the AI checker over my own answer?

Accepted Answer

No. Treat it as a second opinion. When the two solutions disagree, the useful move is to read both step by step and find the exact line where they split. Sometimes the AI is wrong, and finding out why is worth more than the answer.

Question 6

How much does the homework checker cost?

Accepted Answer

Checking and explaining are unlimited on every plan. Rendering the comparison as a handwritten page counts against your generations: 3 free per month, with the Weekly Pass at $2.99 and monthly plans from $7.
