TeX Match

A desktop version of detexify

What is TeX Match?

If you work with LaTeX, you know its difficult to memorize the names of all the symbols. TeX Match allows you to search through over 1000 different LaTeX symbols by sketching. TeX Match is based of detexify and is powered by a port of the detexify classifier.

Features

• Over 1000 LaTeX symbols across multiple packages (same set as detexify)
• Completely offline
• Crossplatform
