[BlindMath] Help with Mathpix?

Dear All,

Without. InftyReader I wouldn't have been able to finish most of my studies, or produce many of the papers I have written.  I have used it from the early days, and it has improved a lot over the years.  However, I find the MathPix tool refreshing, and the fact that I can use it as a digital library of the articles I read, both on my Mac as well as on my iPhone, makes it very handy.  The recent inclusion of collaboration with others provides a competitor to tools like Overleaf, which to this point I have found to be quite inaccessible.

Hope this helps!

Best,
t

Hello,


How do these tools compare to InftyReader, which has been around for almost
2 decades now?


Regards,
Bert
