## What it is
A JavaFX desktop application that converts images of equations and text into LaTeX, MathML, TSV, and other formats using the MathpixOCR API. It offers a lightweight alternative to the Mathpix Snip app with support for multiple OCR output formats and HTTP proxy configuration.

## Use cases
- convert screenshots of math equations to latex
- ocr handwritten math formulas into latex
- extract mathml from images for word documents
- convert table images to tsv for excel
- batch recognize equations without paying for snip subscription

## When to choose
- you have MathpixOCR API keys and want a free lightweight desktop client instead of the paid Snip app
- you need LaTeX, MathML, or TSV output from equation screenshots
- you need a cross-platform JavaFX OCR helper with proxy support

## When to avoid
- you want a maintained tool - the repo is archived due to Mathpix billing changes
- you need OCR without a Mathpix API account or paid plan
- you want offline equation recognition
