Latex Converter

Inspiration

LaTeX is a great tool for authors of research papers to format and typeset math formulas, we wanted to try working with LaTeX and converting handwriting to LaTeX code.

What it does

JavaScript canvas image is sent to Flask server, which then runs the image through a neural network to best try to predict the numbers and convert then to LaTeX.

How I built it

Coded JS canvas, took existing dataset to train model

Challenges I ran into

Mostly regarding connecting JavaScript to Python file

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

finished MOST of the project. We have the model working, as well as the web app. The only thing we need to figure out is a URI to image conversion system that works with Numpy well.

What I learned

Ajax, Flask

What's next for Handwriting to Latex Converter

We are looking to finish the project on our own
