Mathpix is a great product that perfectly fills its niche and I’m very happy it exists.

I wish some open source alternative existed. Even much less accurate would be quite useful. I know latexify but it does only single symbols.

Maybe it will be implemented as an extra language in tesseract someday.

This is an open source alternative that works quite well https://github.com/lukas-blecher/LaTeX-OCR
Wow, thanks! I had no idea it existed. I’ve searched for something like it not that long ago.
