TeX much ?
- daeken 17y agoTeX doesn't do OCR at all, let alone for mathematical expressions. Regardless of who developed it, this is quite cool. Edit: I wonder how much of this is straight up OCR and how much of it actually watches how the text is written. Could be some really interesting tech here.
- Radix 17y agoHere you go. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=630233 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=630233 Hold on while I find the better link... Here you go: http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2009/02/09/recognizing-improvements-in-windows-7-handwriting.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2009/02/09/recognizing-impr... I thought this second one was pretty interesting. An EMR company CEO on a forum I sometimes read enthusiastically pushes Win 7 over XP. Apparently it's _much_ better.
- daeken 17y agoInteresting, thanks for the link.
- halo 17y agoThere are converters to convert MathML into TeX (e.g. http://www.orcca.on.ca/MathML/texmml/mmltotex.html http://www.orcca.on.ca/MathML/texmml/mmltotex.html).
- sneakums 17y agoMathematicians are artists. They don't want to type a bunch of obscure computer codes and then fiddle with them until they get something that looks pretty. Mathematicians want to dash their thoughts down before they flee with the dawn mist, and then move on to the next shattering lightning bolt of genius.
- eru 17y agoActually, it's ok having something to do between the sparks of inspiration..
