Thorem 🚀

Transform Math Notes into LaTeX with AI

Why Did I Build Thorem?

I realized that the process of going from handwritten notes to digital notes is often cumbersome. Especially when it comes to math, writing equations tends to take alot of time on Latex. The idea of Thorem was simple, take any image of your notes and it will give you code that you can start from. However, their are alot of flaws to just using AI based APIs, especially lack of image recognition for specific details and hallucination. Thorem focuses on making sure that the code is as accurate as possible to the actual notes. It also has an in built portable latex engine called Tectonic which compiles and renders LaTEX in the backend, making this app easily deployable.
