[BlindMath] Help with Mathpix?

Fri Feb 10 00:42:20 UTC 2023

Hello Amanda.
Personally overleaf never worked for me.
However, tools such as TexShop:

https://www.tug.org/texlive/Are very good for LaTeX.

This website also provides resources for getting start with tex, in case you are not a proficient user.

Kind regards.

Lucas Nadolskis.

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.
