Does it supports mathematical equations ?

[gulabsagevadiya]

I just want to know if this ml kit does support mathematical equations to latex conversation ?

Hi @gulabsagevadiya ,
As far as i know , The ML kit does not support mathematical equations to latex conversation right now .

Is there any free solution for image to latex like mathpix ? For simpler math equations? Specifically for android

[krishnachaitanya0107]

Well Unfortunately I couldn't find any free solution for image to latex for android . But since it is about simpler math equations , One temporary solution could be to use text recognition in ML kit to extract text from an image and then maybe convert that extracted string into latex , Although This isn't the best solution because most of the time the text recognition seems to fail in recognizing math symbols which could be problematic .

Is it possible to somehow make it learn non-English letters too?
How do you teach it to learn other languages?

[krishnachaitanya0107]

@AndroidDeveloperLB the official documentation says that this ML kit can recognise text across latin-based languages . Here is a link to the documentation - https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/vision/text-recognition

But if you want to teach it some other language . You can train your own model by providing some sample data here -
https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com/

And then use the generated ML model in your android app .

@krishnachaitanya0107 Oh sorry for this. Still I was talking about something similar.
Is it a hard thing to teach and use it?
I've noticed that even on the sample, it often fails to recognize English letters well.
Did you teach it, or was it Google?

Hey I have one question about this technology.
I already have so many LaTeX code. And I can generate their mathematical equations images with some android library.
So can I train model to convert image to LaTeX code with teachablemachine?

[krishnachaitanya0107]

@AndroidDeveloperLB in the sample i actually used a pre-trained model by Google , and yeah it fails to recognise text properly sometimes. I brought up the teachable machine part only because you wanted a way to recognise non English letters.

The teachable machine by Google isn't actually hard to use , you just need to have enough training data to train the model . The more the data you provide it , the more accurate the model will be .

[krishnachaitanya0107]

@gulabsagevadiya If you have data to train the model , then you can go ahead and give it a try .
