Mathpix

Maths OCR that turns images into editable equations

We publish a full Four-Mismatches fit assessment for the student-facing exam tools first. For this one, the facts below are what we have verified — run the Four Mismatches Test on it yourself for your own students.

Independence: Addestra builds learning products too (MathsTutor, TinkerWell). We never review or score our own, and no tool pays to be listed or to rank higher — how we assess fit.

What it does

What the AI actually does — Computer-vision OCR trained on maths notation, converting images and PDFs into LaTeX, Markdown, Word or CSV.

Why it was built — Maths and science documents are trapped in images and PDFs and aren't searchable or editable.
