AI document conversion for math, chemistry, tables and full PDFs
Recognises printed and handwritten math, chemistry diagrams, tables and text across many languages and returns editable output such as LaTeX, Markdown, MathML, SMILES or ChemDraw.
Screenshot any region of your screen or a web page and copy the converted math, chemistry or text straight to your clipboard with a keyboard shortcut.
The OCR API and Files API let you embed the same conversion engine in your own product, with support for Python and CLI workflows and full PDF document processing.
Convert PDFs to LaTeX, Word, Excel, Markdown, HTML or Overleaf-ready output, and images to LaTeX, AsciiMath, CSV or other structured formats.

AI document parsing that turns PDFs and emails into structured data
Name the fields you want in plain English and the AI pulls them from clean digital PDFs, blurry scans and email bodies, adapting to new layouts automatically.
Forward documents to a dedicated email address, drag and drop them in the app, or push them in via the API, webhooks or automation platforms.
Character recognition converts photographed receipts and scanned paperwork into machine-readable text before extraction.
Format, clean and validate every extracted field so totals, dates and IDs arrive consistent rather than as raw strings.
