Somebody on the Slack for one of my online classes shared this interesting mobile website where you can draw a mathematical symbol and get the LaTeX equivalent. http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html

lauraofrohan said:There's a website called detexify that's sometimes helpful, and I also have used the wikibook on LaTeX a lot.
HakimPhilo said:Why not just start using Detexify? You draw a symbol and it will provide you with its LaTeX code.
Gullik said:Detexify. You can draw symbols and you get latex code from that.

Cool. I did search for the term LaTeX before posting. Of course there were a ton of result hits from that.DrClaude said:Thanks for sharing, but it has been mentioned at PF before:

Ok. Looking at it, I don't see the point. It appears to search only for a symbol for which the LaTeX name contains the search term. So even if you know what the symbol is mathematically, it doesn't mean that the LaTeX is in anyway similar. And if you do know the name of the symbol, what are you doing on Detexify to start withGreg Bernhardt said:
The LaTeX Mobile Decoder on Detexify is a tool that allows users to easily find and input mathematical symbols in LaTeX format. It is designed to make the process of writing mathematical equations and formulas more efficient and user-friendly.
The LaTeX Mobile Decoder uses machine learning algorithms to recognize handwritten symbols drawn on the screen of a mobile device. It then provides the corresponding LaTeX code for the recognized symbol, which can be copied and pasted into a document or equation.
Yes, the LaTeX Mobile Decoder is designed to work on any device with a touchscreen, including smartphones and tablets. It is available as a mobile app on both iOS and Android platforms.
The accuracy of the LaTeX Mobile Decoder depends on the quality of the handwriting and the complexity of the symbol. In general, it has a high accuracy rate and can recognize a wide range of symbols, including special characters and mathematical operators.
Yes, the LaTeX Mobile Decoder is an open-source project and welcomes contributions from users. If you encounter a symbol that is not recognized by the decoder, you can submit it to the database to improve its recognition capabilities.
