The steps to perform mathematical formula recognition in Snippai are as follows:
- Screenshot of an image containing a math formula (can be a handwritten note or document)
- Snippai automatically detects the formula and displays the corresponding LaTeX code.
- Users can click the "Copy" button to paste the LaTeX code into a LaTeX editor (e.g. Overleaf) or save it directly as a .tex file.
The important value of this feature for academic research is demonstrated by the fact that researchers often need to cite or re-edit mathematical formulas in their papers, and the traditional way involves manually typing in complex LaTeX code. Through Snippai:
- Significantly reduces manual entry time and improves research efficiency
- Ensure accuracy of formula formatting to avoid human error
- Facilitates quick transfer and reuse of math formulas between academic documents
- Support for handling printed and handwritten formulas (handwriting recognition depends on handwriting clarity)
For example, when intercepting the formula "E=mc²", Snippai will automatically output the correct LaTeX code E=mc^2.
