#Mathpix plugin in #ONLYOFFICE: turn handwritten formulas and text into editable content πŸ”₯

Working with scientific and technical documents often involves complex formulas embedded in images or scans. Rewriting them manually can be slow and error-prone.

The #Mathpix plugin for #ONLYOFFICE solves this problem by converting images into editable LaTeX, text, MathML, or HTML.

First idea: I have a #mathpix licence. So I could PDF all my solutions and convert it to #LaTeX (preferred over Word).

Then, #LaTeX packages like #xsim or #exercise coude comme to the rescue. But beyond all the syntax questions that will come with any package I'll use, I'm unclear on how to organise and store those exercises and solutions.

In #tex files, in a database?

Feedback and experiences would be most useful πŸ™πŸΌ

Teaching a new applied maths/physics course and using handwritten solutions to problem sets from previous years that haven't been typeset in LaTeX. Mathpix is an absolute godsend. It's uncanny how good it is at recognising handwritten mathematics and the words in between. It misidentifies a few words and symbols, but it's easy to fix that. Would have taken ages to typeset all the solutions myself! #mathpix #LaTeX #teachingmaths #teachingphysics

I use #VSCode with some extensions. Especially #Markdown Preview Enhanced and #Mathpix Markdown. With this I write markdown with \( \LaTeX \) and is great for notes and documents.

With Markdown Preview Enhanced you can use #Pandoc and some other means to export in PDF.

@ghutchis @MolecularXtal Nice, I hadn’t seen #mathpix before. I definitely support progressive journals!

@lonepair @MolecularXtal I've gotten a lot of use with #mathpix since I can handwrite an equation or screengrab it from a PDF and paste the LaTeX into Jupyter, etc.

It's saved me *so* much time.

Now if journals just took Jupyter notebooks as manuscript submission? πŸ˜‰

I'm using #Quarto to produce html versions of our current pdfs after putting through #mathpix and #mathcha for conversions. The html output is going well (still need to learn to tweak some #latex, though) but I can't specify the pdf to use Helvetica - it just says it can't load the package 😞 Any hints or tips?
I don’t think we have talked about it enough: #Mathpix is definitely among the greatest gadgets for LaTex users
