What is Mathpix Snip?
Mathpix Snip is an application that makes math easier to work with. It allows users to take screenshots or 'snips' of any mathematical equations, whether handwritten or typed, and instantly converts them into editable text.
The software uses advanced optical character recognition (OCR) technology specifically tuned for recognizing mathematical notations. It can handle integrals, fractions, Greek letters, subscript and superscripts, and more with high accuracy. Users simply take a snip of the equation, and Mathpix analyzes the image and outputs the equation in LaTeX format.
Once converted, the LaTeX math equations can be easily copied and pasted elsewhere for further editing. This eliminates the need to manually type out long complex formulas saving tremendous time and effort. Mathpix seamlessly integrates the snipping and OCR features allowing instant conversion right after taking a screenshot.
The software works on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, iPhone/iPad, and Android devices. It recognizes math written in over 30 languages. Along with single math expressions, Mathpix can also convert multi-line equations, matrices, and math from graphs and scientific papers exported as images. The editable LaTeX output integrates easily into math tools like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LaTeX editors, Mathjax, Mathematica, Maple, MATLAB, Cadabra, SageMath, Desmos and more.
