Mathpix Snipping Tool

About

Snipping Tool is a desktop app from Mathpix that uses OCR to read content from your screen. With a single keyboard shortcut, it copies math and chemistry to your clipboard, so you can capture an equation or formula without retyping it. The app is available for MacOS, along with Windows and Linux.

The copied content works with LaTeX, Markdown, MS Word, and more, so it can be pasted into the tools you already use for writing and research. Mathpix describes the app as part of its document conversion offering for researchers, alongside its PDF and image conversion tools.

The app is aimed at students, academics, and anyone who regularly works with scientific notation and wants to move it from the screen into a document quickly and accurately.
