Math Input Panel Helper

Math Input Panel Helper aims to enhance the functionality of the Math Input Panel application that comes with Windows in order to allow the conversion of mathematical formulas to the LaTeX format, aside from the MathML markup.

Math Input Panel features a powerful recognition engine that permits it to automatically convert handwritten math expressions into MathML-compatible formulas. The output can be easily inserted in a word-processing or similar application, providing it supports the Mathematical Markup Language.

Math Input Panel Helper extends its capabilities by allowing the automatic transformation of MathML expressions stored in the clipboard into LaTeX formulas that can be then included into your documents.

Once initialized, this small utility runs in the system tray, without interfering with your work. Right-clicking on the tray icon reveals a menu that comprises options for configuring the target format. As mentioned above, you can choose from MathML or LaTeX, depending on your preferences. The context menu also includes an option for automatically pasting the clipboard content, which makes it easier for you to work with Math Input Panel Helper.

MathML expressions can be pasted in any word processing program with support for this markup language, while LaTeX formulas can be displayed by dedicated editors.

Math Input Panel Helper adds support for the LaTeX format, converting the clipboard content using consecutive XSLT transformations and allowing the representation of mathematical information in LaTeX. It can prove to be a useful tool for anyone who prefers working with LaTeX, rather than MathML.
