Demonstration Video: Handwriting recognition for maths

[cmml100]

Hi,

This will be the last time I bother you with this for a little while. I have produced a rather amateur video (4min) of what I think handwriting recognition for maths should look like. For the time being, I have named it MathPen.

What I want to know is:
1. how useful do you think MathPen would be for your personal work?
2. how useful do you think MathPen would be for others?
3. is there any useful feature that should be included in MathPen?

I wonder if anyone here can have a look at this video and tell me what you think of it in a survey?

Thanks in advance,
Mandy

Dear Mandy,

Thank you for sharing your video and the MathPen concept with us. I am always interested in new technologies and tools that can improve our work and make it more efficient. After watching your video, I have some thoughts and feedback to share with you.

1. In terms of personal work, I can definitely see the potential usefulness of MathPen. As someone who works with a lot of mathematical equations and formulas, I can see how this tool could save me a lot of time and effort in writing and organizing my work. It would also be helpful for creating clean and legible notes and diagrams.

2. I believe MathPen could be very useful for others as well, especially for students and researchers who work with math and science. It could also be helpful for individuals who struggle with handwriting or have disabilities that make writing difficult. However, I think it would be important to gather more feedback and conduct further testing to ensure its usefulness for a wider audience.

3. One feature that I think would be useful to include in MathPen is the ability to recognize and convert handwritten equations and formulas into digital format, such as LaTeX or MathML. This would make it easier to integrate the work done with MathPen into other digital platforms and documents.

I have taken the survey and provided more detailed feedback there. Overall, I think MathPen has a lot of potential and I am excited to see how it develops further. Thank you for considering my thoughts and I wish you all the best with your project.
