AI Thread Summary
Detexify is a tool that allows users to handwrite unknown characters, providing suggestions and the corresponding code to produce them. Users have reported positive experiences, noting its accuracy in recognizing drawn symbols. The tool has gained popularity for its utility, although some users prefer traditional lookup methods over using the tool directly. There is some confusion regarding its relation to the Textify website, but the primary focus remains on Detexify's functionality and usefulness.

Detexify will allow you to hand write the character you don't know and then it will give you suggestions on which it could be as well as the code to produce it.

This is really cool! I don't have any interesting examples to test out but it correctly guessed all of the symbols I drew. Thanks, Dustin.
 
It's now in my bookmarks. Coolness!

Does this have anything to do with the Textify website?

I don't know. I just know a lot of people find Detexify useful so I posted. I tend to look everything up instead of use it though.
