What is LaTeX OCR?

A simple macOS menu bar application to perform OCR on screen captures, with a special focus on extracting mathematical equations into LaTeX format using the Google Gemini API.

Features:

  • Menu Bar Convenience: Lives in your menu bar for quick access.
  • Screen Capture: Use a global keyboard shortcut or the menu bar item to capture any portion of your screen.
  • Text Extraction (OCR): Uses Apple's built-in Vision framework to accurately recognize and extract plain text from captures.
  • LaTeX Extraction: Leverages the Google Gemini API to convert mathematical equations within captures into LaTeX code.
  • Gemini Model Selection: Choose between different Gemini models to optimize for speed, cost, or accuracy.
  • Clipboard Integration: Automatically copies the extracted text or LaTeX to your clipboard.
  • Customizable Shortcuts: Set your own global keyboard shortcuts for both text and LaTeX extraction via the Settings panel.
  • Configurable Formatting: Choose whether multi-line text/LaTeX results are joined with spaces or line breaks.
  • Recent History: Access recently captured results directly from the menu bar.
  • API Key Management: Securely enter and store your Google Gemini API key via the Settings panel.
