They may want to check out equatio, Heather.  I believe it has some capability to recognize handwritten equations.

Greetings



Apologies for the cross-posting. We have been trying to figure out the best way for our math instructors to be able to post their handwritten notes after class so that they are more inclusive.



I know that there are smart pens that can record notes and convert handwriting to text so we had the idea that maybe this could be a way to make instructor's in-class notes more accessible.



However, I have not worked at all with smartpens so I have some questions:

  *   Are they also able to convert math formulas?
  *   How good is the text conversion and how much work will it require from the instructors to go from handwritten to text?
  *   Does it require special paper or can they be used on a tablet or touch screen?
  *   Do you have any recommendations for a Smartpen that would work for our needs?
  *   Is this even a possibility or am I wildly naive?

Thanks so much for your help.

H.
