Mathpix

Any individual who has ever gazed restlessly at a knotty condition needing an answer has longed for some sort of hatchet to slice through the issue.

I have recently discovered a few very helpful github packages which help me make notes while listening to lectures. These would be 1. Pix2tex (allows you to scan an equation and convert it to latex) 2. Pix2text (allows you to scan an equation with words in it and converts it to latex and text) 3. Tesseract (not really a physics related package, but it does allow me to copy notes from transcripts easily) 4. Mathpix an app that performs all the above mentioned operations better than the packages above, but one which ain't free.
