SUMMARY

The discussion centers on FluidMath's handwriting recognition capabilities, highlighting its efficiency in converting handwritten math into MathML and LaTeX formats. Users noted that while traditional handwriting recognition can be slow, FluidMath demonstrates instantaneous recognition and easy editing features. A YouTube video by BenVitale showcases these functionalities, including the ability to copy LaTeX directly to the clipboard. Overall, FluidMath is positioned as a strong alternative for those who prefer visual math representation over traditional methods like LaTeX.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of FluidMath software
  • Familiarity with LaTeX typesetting
  • Knowledge of MathML markup language
  • Basic skills in using YouTube for tutorial access
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore FluidMath's official website for detailed features
  • Watch FluidMath tutorial videos on YouTube
  • Learn about MathML for better integration with web applications
  • Practice LaTeX to compare efficiency with FluidMath
USEFUL FOR

Educators, students, and developers interested in mathematical representation tools, particularly those looking for alternatives to LaTeX for handwriting recognition and math input.

Personally, I prefer LaTeX. It is a lot faster once you are used to it. Handwriting recognition is always slow. I had to write Chinese on a writing pad before (until I learned a proper input method) and it was terribly slow.
 
I don't like figuring out new languages for representing math -- I wish math handwriting recognition worked.. with FluidMath it looks pretty good!

For those of us who like LaTeX, I noticed in the YouTube video BenVitale posted () they convert the handwriting to MathML and paste it into MS Word, but if you look about 44 seconds into the video there is also an option to copy to the clipboard as LaTeX -- cool.

The handwriting recognition in the video doesn't look slow, it actually looks instantaneous. Editing looks dead-simple too-- just scribbling things out and rewrite.

For whoever's interested I found a whole "channel" of FluidMath videos here: http://www.youtube.com/fluidmath .
