Various offline photo search functions of APP, will the popular photo search disappear now?

This year's college entrance examination, some candidates used the photo search function in the examination room, which triggered a fraud event full of doubts and made people have a further understanding of the photo search software. The photo search function can be said to be a magic weapon for many online learning apps. Many students or parents download learning apps just to use this photo search function.

As a teacher, I actually object to the function of taking photos and searching questions, because this function is really powerful. As long as the common questions are photographed, you can basically find the original questions, not only the answers, but also the problem-solving process. With this function, for some students, the homework assigned by the teacher is useless. No matter how difficult it is, as long as you let him finish it at home, he will definitely give you a perfect answer.

Such a function of "taking photos and searching questions" makes students have a certain dependence, idles their thinking and affects their ability to think independently. It also caused some confusion for teachers, unable to understand the real learning situation of students.

Of course, the "photo search" function is not without its merits. For example, it is a good auxiliary function for parents who are tutoring students' homework. After all, parents have not been exposed to exercises for many years, and many problems are specious and uncertain when tutoring their children's homework. With this software, at least they can ensure that there are no obvious mistakes in their family education. Even teachers sometimes turn on this function when they have questions about the topic, and look at other people's answers for reference and comparison.

However, the policy of "double reduction" is now vigorously implemented, and there are strict norms for off-campus training institutions and subject training. For the "photo search" function, it is also clearly stipulated that online training institutions should not provide and spread bad learning methods such as "photo search". Here, "taking photos to search questions" is defined as a bad learning method, because it idles students' thinking and affects their independent thinking.

As soon as the regulations were introduced, many platforms responded, so in the future, primary schools took photos and searched questions. Avanti, an online education platform, said that APP no longer provided the function of "taking photos and searching questions". Of course, rectification also needs a process. Now, the "photo search" function in many apps such as Ape Search, homework help Search, Quark Search and Lightning Search can still be used normally.

For deleting the "photo search" function, some parents and students said that this did not completely change students' dependence psychology and let students think independently. Because even if there is no "picture search" function, students can find the same original problem through the search engine, but it will be a little more troublesome.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the technology of "taking photos and searching questions". As long as it is used properly, it can also serve parents and students. For example, you can stipulate the open authority, only allow adults to use it, and prohibit students from copying. For example, we can optimize the scheme, only give the idea of solving the problem, but not give the correct answer, leaving room for students to think.
