[Athen] MathPix versus Equatio

[Sean Loraas]

Russell,
I use MathPix for remediation, and it is one of the best tools in my
toolbox for converting math and technical contract to braille and screen
reader accessible HTML/MathML. It is spooky accurate when snipping
equations from anywhere and the clipboard style snip OCR window has options
for pasting into MS Word as Equation Editor, Math type, as well as
conversion to LaTeX, and other formats. They constantly improve by the
features, which now can handle tables, text, chemistry diagrams and any
math you encounter. There is a web app, MathPix Note, that converts full
PDF files to proper mathml or LaTeX for export to Word, HTML, or PDF...MP
Note a fantastic markdown editor for their user friendly MathPix Markdown
syntax with basic LaTeX style editing. The dual Markdown and output panes
in the editor make for a steep learning curve. All for about $100 per year
for 2 licenses. The company has been proactive about meeting with us to get
our input on issues and features we'd like to see. Couldn't recommend them
more highly.  I had the opposite experience with EquatIO, with no licensing
options for accessible document specialists, they would only allow licensed
use for remediation if we bought an over $8000/year district license. We
only wanted 1 or 2 licenses, which they don't support.


Not sure how useful students would find it. Maybe there are others here
that have some experience with that use case. Hope that helps.
