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 research platform for reading, understanding and writing scientific papers
Open or upload a paper and ask questions, get plain-language explanations of highlighted passages, and pull out methods, results and limitations conversationally.
Search a large scholarly index spanning Google Scholar, PubMed and arXiv, then generate structured literature reviews and related-work sections from what you find.
An AI Writer for drafts, a paraphraser for academic tone, and a citation generator that formats references in popular styles.
Turn tables and results in a paper into structured data, and check whether a manuscript reads as AI-generated with a built-in detector.
