[Athen] MathML Scanning and Conversion

[Sean Keegan]

> Does anybody know of any services that can scan a math equation heavy book into MathML?


The closest I have found that will scan math equations and output as MathML is the InftyReader application:
http://www.inftyproject.org/en/software.html

It's not perfect and you sometimes have to coax the software to function, but it can work well. You do need to have very clean high-resolution files for input as either TIFF, GIF, or PNG and at least 400 dpi or higher in black or white (no gray scale).

It is not going to give you the cleanest MathML, but it can reduce the workload and streamline the correction process.

Out of curiosity - what is the use case for going to MathML? Is it an intermediate step to a final format or is it being delivered to a student directly?

Take care,
Sean
