Supported notation types
- Molecular formulas (e.g. H₂O, CO₂, NaCl)
- Balanced and unbalanced chemical equations
- Multi-step reaction sequences
- Subscripts, superscripts, and ionic charges
- Structural formulas for organic chemistry
Output generated automatically
- Digitised, clean version of the handwritten equation
- Step-by-step solution with working shown
- Auto-generated quiz questions based on the equation
- Summary notes explaining the reaction in plain language
- Supplementary learning materials for extended study

Quiz Generation
Generation Logic & Question Types
Quizzes are generated directly from the topic or lesson content loaded onto the panel. The system does not use generic question banks. It generates questions that are contextually specific to the exact content being taught in that session.
How the generation works
- Input: topic name, lesson content, or existing quiz
- Output: multiple question sets with varied formats
- New quizzes can be derived from existing ones, building a question bank over time
- Summaries are co-generated alongside quizzes for teacher review
Question formats supported
- Multiple choice
- Short answer
- True or false
- Fill in the blank
Text Recognition
Languages & Output Format
The text recognition feature converts natural handwriting written anywhere on the panel into clean, editable digital text. The engine is trained across multiple scripts and handles natural handwriting variations without requiring the user to write in a specific style or font.
Supported languages
- English
- Arabic (including right-to-left script handling)
- French
- Additional languages included in multilingual support pack
Output capabilities
- Instant conversion with no manual review required
- Editable text ready to copy, save, or share
- Direct export to lesson notes or PDF
- Compatible with DMS (Device Management System) for remote access

Frequently Asked Questions
Specifications, software, and connectivity answers for schools and corporate AV teams evaluating boardEX.
What AI features does boardEX offer?
boardEX is built around AI-powered classroom workflows. It can automatically recognize handwritten maths and chemistry equations and convert them into digital text. It generates complete lesson plans, mind maps, and quizzes from a topic or curriculum objective. It also supports virtual labs and provides real-time teaching suggestions, all from a single unified platform.
How does boardEX help teachers save time?
Instead of preparing resources across multiple tools, boardEX consolidates everything in one place. Teachers can generate lesson plans, assessments, and visual content in seconds using AI. Automated quiz and mind-map creation eliminates hours of manual prep, and handwriting recognition removes the need to retype notes or equations.
Can boardEX recognize handwritten equations in Arabic?
Yes. The text recognition engine supports Arabic script, including right-to-left directionality. For mathematical and chemical equations, the recognition engine handles standard international notation regardless of the interface language selected.
How many touch points does the boardEX interactive flat panel support?
The boardEX interactive flat panel supports 20 touch points on the built-in Android system and 40 touch points when running through the optional Windows OPS module. Twenty points is enough for several students to write at the panel simultaneously. The 40-point mode suits larger collaborative sessions in lecture halls and boardrooms where multiple people annotate at once.
What software comes with the boardEX interactive flat panel?
Every panel ships with the boardEX whiteboard app, the boardEX AI assistant, and a device management system that lets IT teams monitor and update panels remotely across a campus. Schools running a full-campus rollout usually lean on that management layer heavily, and our after-sales support team walks IT staff through it during handover. The panel installs standard Android APK files, so institutions can add their own approved applications. It also works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet.
How do I connect a laptop or phone to the boardEX panel wirelessly?
Wireless sharing runs through K-Share, the screen sharing system built into every boardEX panel. A laptop, tablet, or phone on the same network casts to the display without a cable. This matters most in corporate meeting rooms where visitors present from their own devices and there is no time to hunt for the right adapter.
Is the boardEX interactive flat panel 4K?
Yes. Every panel in the boardEX range is 4K UHD at a 16:9 aspect ratio, built on a D-LED display with a 15000:1 contrast ratio and a 178 degree viewing angle. Brightness is rated at 400 cd/m² minimum and 450 cd/m² typical, which holds readability in classrooms that take daylight from side windows.
How long does an interactive flat panel last?
The boardEX panel is rated for 50,000 hours of display life. For a school running the panel eight hours a day across a 250 day academic year, that works out to roughly 25 years of rated panel life, well beyond a normal procurement replacement cycle. Response time is rated at 2ms or lower, and the touch surface is toughened glass over an infrared touch frame.
