SnapTeX

Scrolling screenshots and LaTeX turned into readable Unicode.

SnapTeX interface

Course notes are full of LaTeX that doesn't survive a copy-paste. SnapTeX captures a scrolling page and converts the maths into Unicode you can actually paste somewhere else.

Most of the work is in the parser: real-world LaTeX is nested, inconsistent, and frequently malformed, so the conversion has to degrade gracefully instead of throwing.
