SumWise 3.0 · English questions on Windows
Natural-language math you can review
Turn a supported English question into visible, editable mathematics. SumWise interprets locally, shows the full calculation, and waits for you to evaluate it.

From question to calculation
- Choose Ask a math question… below the calculator input, from App, or through Quick Insert. Ctrl+Shift+Q opens the panel.
- Enter a supported question and choose Interpret. Enter in this question field interprets; it does not calculate.
- Review the task, values, units, variable, assumptions and complete generated expression. Edit fields if needed, then explicitly Update interpretation. The card identifies an edited interpretation.
- Choose Insert calculation. Use empty calculator input or deliberately select its whole draft; a partial selection is insufficient.
- Return to the calculator and press Enter to evaluate through the ordinary engine. One Undo can undo the insertion.
Work through travel time
If I average 60 mph for 200 miles, how long will it take?SumWise understands distance = 200 mi and average speed = 60 mph. Time = distance / speed. Explicit evaluation gives 10/3 h, equivalent to 200 minutes, displayed with 3 h 20 min.
The speed must represent the whole journey average. Stops, acceleration, route planning and changing-speed models are not accounted for. The readable duration is derived from the typed result, with whole-minute rounding explained where needed; the typed quantity remains authoritative.
Questions to try
Each block is a separate question for Ask. These constructions come from the qualified supported-language corpus.
How far do I travel at 55 mph for 2.5 hours?After explicit evaluation: 137.5 mi, using distance = average speed × time.
What average speed covers 300 miles in 5 hours?After explicit evaluation: 60 mph, using speed = distance / time.
What is 18% of 450?After explicit evaluation: 81, using 450 × 18 / 100.
Increase 125 by 12%.After explicit evaluation: 140, using 125 × (1 + 12 / 100).
Convert 72 mph to km/h.After explicit evaluation: 115.872768 km/h, before any display rounding.
Convert 2.5 hours to minutes.After explicit evaluation: 150 minutes.
Differentiate x^2+3*x with respect to x.After explicit evaluation: An expression equivalent to 2*x+3.
Solve 2*x+5=17 for x.After explicit evaluation: x = 6 for this supported linear equation.
Plot y=sin(x) from -3 to 3.After explicit evaluation: A 2D sine plot on the stated range, in radians.
Also supported: Factor x^2-5*x+6, Expand (x+2)*(x+3), and Integrate x^2 with respect to x. The English verb selects an existing operation; the mathematical payload still follows SumWise syntax and the operation’s limits.
What a refusal means
The interface and natural-language question recognition are English only. This is not general word-problem solving, a chatbot, or conversational memory. “Differentiate x*y” needs a variable choice; “Convert 5m” needs a target. A question with two extra stops is not silently treated as ordinary constant-average travel.
Correct the question and Interpret again, or edit an existing understood card and Update. “What if I go 70 instead?” does not refer back to an old question. Use a decimal point in documented mathematical input; changing your system locale does not turn commas into decimal separators. Case-sensitive unit symbols and function names retain their documented meaning.
Questions about Ask
Does typing a question calculate?
No. Interpretation and preparation do not evaluate, update history or sample a graph. Insertion and ordinary evaluation are separate actions.
Is an interpretation proof my assumptions are correct?
No. Review roles, units and assumptions before using the calculation. Mathematical and language support are bounded.
Are my questions saved in the workspace?
Original prose and interpretation cards are temporary. Inserted calculations and accepted results follow the existing saved-work rules.
Does it use a language model or remote math service?
No model or remote interpretation service is used. Calculations and question interpretation run locally. Licensing and other application activities have separate network requirements.
