I built *Math2Tex*, a lightweight tool that converts handwritten or printed academic content — especially math formulas — into LaTeX or textThe Problem:I've always found it incredibly tedious to manually type out mathematical formulas, especially complex, multi-line equations from my handwritten notes or from a textbook. I tried some existing tools, but they often struggled with my handwriting or couldn't handle mixed content (text and formulas together). ), and it converts the academic content into clean LaTeX code or plain text. Tech Stack:The core OCR engine is a custom-trained model based on a transformer architecture, fine-tuned on a large dataset of both printed and handwritten academic material.
