Image2LaTeX

Image2LaTeX allows you to convert images of formulas or text into LaTeX or MathML formats.

Workflow:

1. Use your operating system's default screenshot tool (e.g., Shift (⇧)-Control (⌃)-Command (⌘)-4 on macOS) to capture the formula or text.
2. Once captured, press the Space key to preview the screenshot.
3. Press the Enter key to send the OCR request to the MathpixOCR API.

Platform-specific execution:

• macOS: Run Image2LaTeX.app.
• Windows: Run Image2LaTeX.exe.
• Linux: Run the binary located in the Image2LaTeX-linux/bin/ directory using the command:

./Image2LaTeX

The typical workflow for converting equations or text from an image to LaTeX/MathML is:

1. Capture a screenshot: Use your operating system's default screenshot tool (e.g., Shift (⇧)-Control (⌃)-Command (⌘)-4 on macOS).
2. Preview: Press the Space key to preview the captured screenshot.
3. Process: Press the Return or Enter key to send the OCR request directly to the MathpixOCR API.

To use Image2LaTeX, you must provide API keys from the MathpixOCR Console. Note that these are distinct from Snip account credentials.

Setting credentials:

• First Run: Enter your API keys (without single quotes) when the application starts for the first time.
• macOS/Windows: Open the Preferences menu and select API Credentials to modify keys.
• Linux: Right-click anywhere within the application to open the Preferences dialog.

If you need to update your API keys after the initial setup, use the following platform-specific methods:

• macOS and Windows: Click the application's menu bar icon and navigate to Preferences > API Credentials.
• Linux: Right-click anywhere inside the application window to open the Preferences panel.

Follow these instructions to launch the application based on your operating system:

• macOS: Run Image2LaTeX.app.
• Windows: Run Image2LaTeX.exe.
• Linux: Run the binary located at Image2LaTeX-linux/bin/Image2LaTeX or use the command line:

./Image2LaTeX

To use Image2LaTeX, you must provide your API keys from the MathpixOCR dashboard. Note that these are different from the Mathpix account used in the Snip app.

Upon the first launch of the application, you will be prompted to enter your API keys (do not include single quotes).

If you encounter errors during the OCR process, refer to the following resources:

1. Check the Mathpix OCR API Error Types documentation.
2. Check the reported issues on GitHub.
