FAQ

What does DeTeXt do?

DeTeXt helps you find the correct LaTeX commands for symbols. You can either draw the symbol you need, and the app's AI will identify it, or you can search through a large database of symbols from various LaTeX packages.

How does the drawing feature work?

You can draw a symbol on your screen, and DeTeXt's neural image classification engine will analyze your drawing. It then suggests the 20 most likely LaTeX commands that will generate a symbol similar to the one you drew. This feature supports Apple Pencil on iPads.

What is the cost of DeTeXt?

DeTeXt is a paid application. There are no in-app purchases or advertisements within the app, meaning you pay once to access all its features.

What symbols are included in DeTeXt?

The app includes a comprehensive set of 1098 symbols from popular LaTeX packages such as tipa, amsmath, amssymb, and textcomp, in addition to default mathematical symbols. All symbols are stored within the app for offline access.

Can I use DeTeXt offline?

Yes, DeTeXt is designed to work offline. The neural engine processes your drawn symbols and the entire symbol database is stored within the app, so you do not need an internet connection to find commands.
