Best ai tool to turn math formula to text

This is the most accurate app that can turn any math formula into text without even a subtle mistake. I really love it.

Amazing!

Really convenient for homework, and just editing PDFs. Amazing and easy to use.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that our app is useful to you.

Great!

I use this app for homework and this helps me save a bunch of time writing equations and proofs. The ability to also upload entire PDFs and link to my Overleaf account is extremely helpful as well. Love this app and I highly recommend to anyone.

Many thanks for your review.

Great and accurate app

Conversion is accurate and fast. I just wish it had the option to define custom delimiters since a lot of note taking apps require inline math to be surrounded by $$$$.

Unbelievably accurate!

I had an assignment for physics, I did it on my iPad, but the teacher said it must be in full text, and asked for resubmission (I don’t cry anymore when teachers bother me I’ve cried enough) I googled imagine into equations or something and this came up, I didn’t think much since they only had 11 reviews, but it is my job to tell you all that this is extraordinary, I literally just installed it on my Laptop and watched their quick tutorial and understood how to use it, I recommend it, it understands everything lovely 🤭🤭🥶🥶

Great app!

very helpful in writting paper!

Fast, useful, but room for improvement

I have an assignment due that requires all our formulas to be shown, and typed out. I was not looking forward to this, and thought I’d look for a handwriting to latex converter. This app works really quite well and definitely saved me time entering all my formulas. The ability to also use markdown meant I could write most of the report and format it nicely, all without exiting the app.

There are a few things I would like to see improved. Firstly, I had checked to see if the app listed any in-app purchases before downloading the app. Since none were listed, I was disappointed when I got a message saying I had run out of snips on my free account. Because a subscription isn’t technically done as an in-app purchase (you are redirected to the website to upgrade), I understand now why there were no purchases listed on the AppStore page. I do wish the subscription details were either more obvious on the AppStore page, or were mentioned during first-run.

Additionally, there doesn’t seem to be much palm rejection, which makes using an Apple Pencil a little tricky at times; large lines suddenly jump across the page when writing equations by hand. Also, the ability to switch to eraser with the double-tap pencil gesture would be nice, though the ability to scribble out mistakes to erase them makes this a lot less of an issue. The app also seemed to get stuck when changing iPad orientations, requiring me to quit the app and reopen it.

Lastly, I would love to see some form of indicator for recognized handwriting that potentially has a low confidence rating. I’ve found I do have to go over the equations carefully after writing them to make sure all the “.” were interpreted properly, and that all the symbols (gamma, infinity, etc.) converted correctly too. I’m also not totally sure, but I felt like the equation I was shown in the preview changed when I hit the accept checkmark, resulting in equations that looked right in the preview, but were then entered into the document incorrectly.

Overall, I found this app worked well for what I needed it to, the subscription is a decent price, and the issues I have with it (other than maybe the palm rejection) are pretty minor. Definitely would recommend giving it a try!

Wonderful and convenient to use

This app makes writing and note taking with large mathematical expressions very convenient and enjoyable. Overall, I would strongly recommend this app to anyone who frequently transcribes large equations to LaTeX often.

Very good app!

I did not see any competitive apps in OCR math wrtings. It helped me a lot in writing papers!

If you work with Mathematics at all this is awesome!

I use the app everyday, it is amazing. Hands down the best OCR application for mathematics, but it does so much more than that. I use for everything from creating mathematical documents, to evaluating hand written expressions, to general OCR.
