What WIRIS does

WIRIS (legally Maths for More SLU) is a Barcelona-based STEM education technology company founded in 2000 that builds digital math and science authoring, assessment, and practice tools. Its portfolio centers on four products: MathType, a cross-platform equation and chemistry formula editor embedded natively in Office Tools (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, WPS Office), LMS platforms (Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Google Classroom, Schoology, OpenLMS, Microsoft Teams), XML editors (Oxygen XML, Arbortext, Fonto, XEditor), and HTML editors/CMS (CKEditor, TinyMCE, Froala, Joomla, WordPress), with content stored as MathML and rendered via the proprietary WIRISplugins.js viewer; WirisQuizzes, an assessment engine with computer-based grading, randomized math questions, instant feedback, and a public API; Nubric, an AI-assisted STEM practice platform with auto-grading and personalized feedback (rebranded from LearningLemur in 2025 and expanded to Canvas, Blackboard, and Brightspace in March 2026); and CalcMe, a Computer Algebra System for algebraic manipulation. ChemType, a chemistry-focused interface, ships with MathType. Underlying technology emphasizes accessibility (MathML, MathSpeak screen-reader support, image alt text), handwriting recognition, and a correction engine that validates mathematical correctness for open-ended answers, with AI applied to quiz question generation in Nubric.

The business operates a hybrid product-led and enterprise sales motion: individual users discover and trial MathType via a 30-day free trial and self-serve purchase through store.wiris.com, while institutional and publisher accounts (schools, universities, and enterprise publishers) are converted through dedicated Contact Sales and Request a Demo flows. Distribution is heavily OEM/embedded, with MathType shipped as native plugins across the partner stacks listed above and additional marketplace presence through Skolon, supplemented by content marketing (blog, documentation hub at docs.wiris.com, success stories), organic social channels, and events such as BETT 2025. The company is privately held by Maths for More SLU in Spain, is COPPA, FERPA, and GDPR compliant with student data hosted on Google Cloud Platform, and lists over 100,000 organizations globally as customers, including Pearson, McGraw Hill, International Baccalaureate, Cambridge HOTmaths, Mondadori Education, UNED, Nanjing University, La Salle, öbv Schulbuch, ASSISTments, Mattecentrum, Boeing, and NASA.
