CoreTex · Word → LaTeX

Production-grade Word → LaTeX converter for academic writers

What it does

CoreTex — Word to LaTeX, in seconds. Stop wrestling with Pandoc or retyping equations at 2 AM. CoreTex is a compiler-grade pipeline that turns anydocx into clean, compilable LaTeX OMML equations, Unicode math, tables, citations, and IEEE/ACM/Springer templates, all preserved. Drop your file, get a submission-readytex, and open it in Overleaf in one click. Built for researchers who write and devs who ship. FastAPI + React + Redis. Open source. 3 hours to 3 seconds.

    Math2Tex – Convert handwritten math and complex notes to LaTeX textSep 2025 · ▲79

    Hi HN, I’m the creator of Math2Tex. I was a PhD student, I spend a huge amount of my time working with LaTeX, especially when dealing with lecture notes, academic papers, and homework. I built *Math2Tex*, a lightweight tool that converts handwritten or printed academic content — especially math formulas — into LaTeX or text The Problem: I've always found it incredibly tedious to manually type out mathematical formulas, especially complex, multi-line equations from my handwritten notes or from a textbook. It's slow, boring, and I always make syntax errors. I tried some existing tools, but…

    Latex.to – LaTeX to image converter running in the browser2024 · latex.to · ▲85

    I've made a website to easily share a LaTeX math formula. - The image is created in the browser (i.e. the LaTeX is not send to a server for rendering) - Native share dialog (share via WhatsApp etc.) - Extra keyboard buttons for symbols like "$" or "\" on mobile - Share via png or unicode Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fGuTns5Nt9Q Please let me know any feedback on how to improve the website.

  • TeXbrain, a LaTeX editor that runs pdfTeX in the browser via WASM12d ago · github.com · ▲118

    I'm a master's engineering student and a big fan of LaTeX, which I used for my thesis and research articles. I have used Overleaf and that was fine until I wanted to git sync, which unfortunately sits behind a paywall. Since I didn't want to pay subscriptions for things that should simply just work, I built the editor I wanted in my free time, where you open a tab, write LaTeX, get your PDF and the files stay all in one folder on my disk. TeXbrain is a static site with no backend. pdfTeX is compiled to WebAssembly (SwiftLaTeX) and runs in your browser. The editor can read and write your…

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
