About

What is I improved my handwritten math OCR (now preserves derivations)?

Axiom converts handwritten STEM notes, including math, physics, chemistry, and engineering notation, into structured digital text. It outputs compile-ready LaTeX, Markdown with MathJax, and vector PDFs, making it ideal for academic and research purposes. Unlike generic OCR tools, Axiom parses the spatial relationships within equations, ensuring accurate transcription of complex structures like fractions, matrices, and integrals. It supports various input formats, including phone scans, flatbed scans, and existing PDFs/images. Axiom is designed to complement tools like Overleaf and Obsidian, acting as a bridge between handwritten notes and digital systems, allowing users to create searchable, linkable, and version-controlled digital libraries of their work.

Best used for

Ideal for students, researchers, and professors who need to convert handwritten math, physics, and chemistry notes into digital formats, export to LaTeX for papers, and integrate with tools like Obsidian. Especially valuable for preserving complex derivations and ensuring accuracy in technical documentation.

FAQs

What types of handwritten notes does Axiom support?

Axiom supports handwritten mathematical equations, physics notation, chemistry formulas and diagrams, and engineering notes. It works with mixed text and math pages, and can process inputs from phone scans, flatbed scans, PDFs, and images.

How does Axiom differ from generic OCR tools for math?

Unlike generic OCR that treats math as linear text, Axiom parses the spatial relationships between symbols. This allows it to correctly transcribe complex structures like fractions, matrices, and integrals, preserving mathematical hierarchy that generic OCR often fails to interpret.

Can Axiom be used with Overleaf and Obsidian?

Yes, Axiom is designed to complement both. It generates compile-ready LaTeX source code for Overleaf and clean Markdown with MathJax-compatible equations for Obsidian. This allows handwritten notes to become searchable, linkable, and part of a long-term knowledge graph.

Do purchased pages or page packs expire?

No, pay-as-you-go page packs purchased through Axiom never expire. You can buy them at any time and use them whenever needed, even in subsequent years, providing flexibility for your usage.
