Zuckerberg Education Ventures backs learning assistant camera app Volley

by Josh Constine, TechCrunch

“This is so fast it feels like cheating” students tell Volley. The education startup’s app lets students point their phone’s camera at a textbook page or piece of homework, and instantly see resources about key facts and tricky parts, prerequisites, and links to snippets of online classes or study guides that could help. But rather than manually cobble this info together, Volley uses cutting edge machine learning and natural language processing to do it all automatically.
