If you teach or publish at a university, you’ve probably heard the push: all course materials need to be accessible. Slides, handouts, exams – anything a student might need. The problem is that most academic content lives in PDFs produced by LaTeX, and those PDFs are essentially images to a screen reader.

Transformer-based optical character recognition (OCR) has changed how we read noisy equation screenshots and scanned notes. This shift matters for image-to-LaTeX workflows because it improves the quality of raw text extraction before formula conversion.

Formula OCR systems face a unique challenge: how to recognize mathematical expressions when the image provides no explicit token boundaries. Unlike text, where spaces and punctuation naturally separate words, equations are dense visual structures where symbols like integrals, fractions, and summations can span multiple
