  Mathpix is ace. That’s the best results I got so far for scientific papers and reports. It understands the layout of complex documents very well, it’s quite impressive. Equations are perfect, figures extraction works well. There are a few annoying issues, but overall I am very happy with it.

    Thanks for the kind words. What are some of the annoying issues?

      I had a billing issue at the beginning. It was resolved very nicely but I try to be careful and I monitor the bill a bit more than I would like. Actually my main remaining technical issue is conversion to standard Markdown for use in a data processing pipeline that has issues with the Mathpix dialect. Ideally I’d do it on a computer that is airgaped for security reasons. But I haven’t found a very good way of doing it because the Python library wanted to check my API key. A problem I have and that is not really Mathpix’s fault is that I don’t really know how to store the figures pictures to keep them with the text in a convenient way. I haven’t found a very satisfying strategy. Anyway, keep up the good work!
