Dear Amanda,

Try the web app on Chrome.  It is not simple to use, but it works eventually.  You could try to contact the developers so that they can improve the accessibility of their tools - something I've been wanting to do for a while, but not getting to....

Best,
t

When I open anything in Overleaf, I find a bunch of %s and other symbols and have to arrow down many times before I find any meaningful text.


How do you use the Mathpix tool? On my Mac, I open it, and it says, "button button button." How do you use Mathpix with either MacOS or iOS to convert a PDF containing math to any other format?

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.
