About Detexify

This app lets you draw a symbol, and shows you the closest latex symbols, their command, package, and mode.

Why use this app ?
- it works
- it uses very few mobile data (symbols are already in the app, and the server sends few data)

I gave u five stars cause it's an amazing app, however I woukd like to point out a flaw. It'd be nice if it understood vectors. Suppose I tried writing an a with an arrow on it's top, it should recognize it. Thanks for development guys! ;)

Even with my shocking finger drawing skills, still brings up the symbols I'm looking for. Well done!

O70%
by O####:

Cuts down time looking for obscure symbols, and has impressive handwriting recognition abilities.

Y70%
by Y####:

Incredible timesaver and gets even obscure symbols first try almost all of the time!

Y70%
by Y####:

Useful! It might save a couple of minutes searching for a specific symbol in endless disordered lists!

O70%
by O####:

Simple but awesome app. AFAIK the only working one. One idea for a great feature would be: if you tap a result, the app suggests visually similar results. Would be great sometimes to refine your search.

G70%
by G####:

A 'must-have' for LaTeX users — especially newbies (like me) learning to write papers etc in LaTeX. My thanks to the dev!

Y70%
by Y####:

Brilliant. Recognition of badly drawn symbols is amazingly good. Really useful app that saves considerable time over looking through tables of characters.

T70%
by T####:

Extremely useful app, especially for people writing scientific papers. A simple idea, yet an exquisite one. Thanks to the people who worked on it.

Best LaTeX companion app! It makes looking up any symbol super easy.

A70%

Missing undo, to undo the last stroke. Great idea though.

The algorithm could use a bit of improvement, but good none the less

Fantastic

S70%
by S####:

Just today I decided to look for a mobile version of detextify that would allow me to draw with my finger properly. This is exactly what I was looking for. The "draw here" image looks a little grainy, but aside from that, i have no qualms with this app so far.

Q70%
by Q####:

Seems to do as good of a job as the detexify Web site (occasionally a little slower to get a response but the few extra seconds hasn't been an issue to me).
