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)

This is a fantastic app, especially if you're just getting started with TeX. In subjects such as math, statistics, physics, chemistry, etc., this app saves TONS of time digging through references to find the right symbol or code syntax. Excellent work!

Very useful to have at hand when typing your latex math, less symbols to remember more power to thinking. It could do more in regards to suggested symbols but maybe that's asking too much, simplicity is enough! ❤️

Missing symbols from sources like pifont and bbding, but still fairly useful. Very math focused, surely excellent for those in that field.

Really great! Hope the developers can add a feature which allows users to view the list of possible symbols too!

Amazing, recognized my ugly handwriting which means i don't need to spend hours googling latex commands, i just look them up on this great app. 10/10 love it

Great app, quick and easy :) It might use some design update, like new icons or colored statusbar.

This is a marvelous service. I love the website. When you are writing your thesis in AI this is a Godsend. My only regret is that I hadn't found it earlier. May the CS Gods bless the creators.

Without it writing LaTeX math with for example greek symbols would at least need twice the time.

Fantastic idea and very well prepared and designed app. Five stars.

Best app

Rob. R. May 4, 2017     

Great app. Feature request: a way to lookup symbols by their latex commands would be very useful. Ex: I often mix \epsilon and \varepsilon . Also I had trouble getting bras and kets recognized, I guess that requires the `physics` package.

Feature request: Please add a basic dictionary of symbols, which explains their meaning and uses. This can help students when they come across a symbol they do not understand in their textbooks. With this app, they just need to draw the symbol, and understand the context of the symbol!!! Please add it! The app works like magic, but this feature can double its usefulness!

Perfect app, totally fits needs. Whether I have to find a command for a frequent used symbol or I don't now the name of a Greek symbol, this app helps me out

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! ;)

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

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