Convert a plaintext string into the corresponding entity:

Compute the ratio of two stock prices:

Interpret quantities:

Interpret times:

Compute a date:

Import a plaintext mathematical formula:

Find an image:

Create colors:

Wrap the result of interpretation in HoldComplete, preventing evaluation:

Show an area of the sky around the star Betelgeuse:

Insert ▶ Inline Free-form Input interprets the query asynchronously:

Any subsequent computation happens during the main evaluation loop:

FreeformEvaluate performs both interpretation and computation during the main evaluation loop:

=[query] always returns the default interpretation for query:

Different interpretations can be accessed interactively with Insert ▶ Inline Free-form Input ():

They can be accessed programmatically with the InputAssumptions option:

FreeformEvaluate and SemanticInterpretation both give WolframLanuage translations of text:

This is a computation that can be represented exactly in Wolfram Language:

The following query produces an answer for FreeformEvaluate but not SemanticInterpretation:

That is because the question cannot be represented exactly in Wolfram Language:

However, FreeformEvaluate will scan the Wolfram Knowledgebase for possible answers:

The operator form of FreeformEvaluate cannot contain a right bracket:

Queries involving right brackets can be typed using the FullForm:
