About 🗞️

This extension takes your latest copied image from your clipboard and converts the math to latex and inserts it at your position in the editor. See GIF below for example of usage with a keybinding: A couple of things happen here

  1. I take a screenshot of the formula on the left
  2. I use a keybinding to trigger the OCRToLatex
  3. A loading indicator is inserted

Getting started 🚀

To get started first get an api token, see below. Then go to settings and insert it. After this you are ready to use the plugin. Try to snip a math formula to your clipboard and run the command Generate latex from last image to clipboard
