How it works

1Upload images, PDFs, or a zipScreenshots, scanned pages, or photos — phone shots of a whiteboard are fine.
2Equations read page by pageOur vision models transcribe every display equation, matrix, and aligned system faithfully, flagging unclear symbols instead of guessing.
3Parse-checked LaTeX, three waysA documented .tex file, a one-per-line .txt for quick copy-paste, and a CSV with source, label, and validation status.

Modernize old typeset material
Photograph pages from out-of-print books and get amsmath you can actually compile.
TUTORS & TEACHERS
Worksheets from whiteboard photos
Board work becomes clean LaTeX for handouts, with unclear symbols flagged for review.
PUBLISHING
Proof against the original
Nothing is silently repaired — expressions that fail to parse are kept and flagged with the error.
SECURITY

Built for sensitive documents

Bank statements, medical files, case records. Security isn't a feature we added — it's the foundation.

Questions

Every expression is parse-checked with a real LaTeX math parser before you download it. Valid equations are marked valid; anything that fails is kept verbatim and flagged with the exact parse error, so nothing is silently dropped or repaired.
