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.
