MathML expressions can be pasted in any word processing program with support for this markup language, while LaTeX formulas can be displayed by dedicated editors. The context menu also includes an option for automatically pasting the clipboard content, which makes it easier for you to work with Math Input Panel Helper. As mentioned above, you can choose from MathML or LaTeX, depending on your preferences. Right-clicking on the tray icon reveals a menu that comprises options for configuring the target format. Once initialized, this small utility runs in the system tray, without interfering with your work. Math Input Panel Helper extends its capabilities by allowing the automatic transformation of MathML expressions stored in the clipboard into LaTeX formulas that can be then included into your documents. The output can be easily inserted in a word-processing or similar application, providing it supports the Mathematical Markup Language. Math Input Panel features a powerful recognition engine that permits it to automatically convert handwritten math expressions into MathML-compatible formulas.

Peculiarly, I have found that speaking mathematics is not as error prone, and has the distinct advantage of not requiring hands.Math Input Panel Helper aims to enhance the functionality of the Math Input Panel application that comes with Windows in order to allow the conversion of mathematical formulas to the LaTeX format, aside from the MathML markup. Sadly, the neat technology of handwriting recognition of mathematics is not nearly as useful as it seems at first. Or if you are already taking a class via computer, take a screen grab and store it. You can't look back at a previous page without invoking some command.Īlternative: take a photo of the blackboard in your class. You could, maybe later, try to scan and recognize the math, without involvingĬon: you are writing on a piece of glass, which is uncomfortable.

You could send your notes digitally to some archive or some friend with a computer. You are maybe saving some trees by not using paper. If you are not using MIP, but simply using a tablet as a simulation of paper (no recognition) then I suppose there is this tradeoff: Since MIP or other tablet-based math input is error prone, and even a 10% error rate would be low, you will, in the midst of your math class be spending 50% or more of your time and a corresponding percentage of your mental capacity grappling with the error correction mechanism of MIP (or whatever).Īs a (now retired) math and computer science professor, my experience with students who typeset their notes (and homework) when not at all required, is that they rarely if ever learn the material better. I don't know what that disability might be. Writing notes on a tablet during a math class is likely to be a real loser unless you have some disability that makes using a pencil especially difficult compared to using a stylus. I would like to hear about your comments.

But one good reason for doing handwriting is because sometimes I just don't like to make math writing into code writing (or something like programming). Maybe I am too late on this, are there more mature product for such purposes? I think handwriting math could actually be slower than typing LaTeX codes. Won't this tool drastically improve the quality of our note-taking? It basically changes all handwriting into TeX files! I know there are people taking math notes using a tablet PC.

I don't have a writing pad, so I just tried writing with a mouse.

But in all, it really recognize handwritings pretty well. And it probably has trouble recognizing some math fonts, like \mathfrak or \mathcal. I had a try with the Math Input Panel myself, and it seems you can basically write all math stuff, integration, super(sub) scripts, tensor, arrows (even with labels over them!), and matrix! The only big problem is there is NO commutative diagram. If you have a look of their first demo video, you know what I am talking about:

I just found out about the Math Input Panel in Windows 7,and now there is commercial software using it for LaTex writing.
