Snap2LaTeX is a tool that converts a picture of a mathematical equation into a LaTeX code. It uses https://github.com/NormXU/nougat-latex-ocr to recognize the equation and convert it into LaTeX code.
Compared to LaTeX-OCR, Snap2LaTeX is a standalone application that does not require any install. It has a simpler interface and uses MPS by default.
Download from releases.
Run the application.
The application will start downloading the model. It will take a few minutes.
There will be an icon in the system tray.
Click on it and select "Capture" to capture a screenshot of the equation. The application will then recognize the equation and display the LaTeX code. When the processing is in progress, the icon will turn yellow.
