Full parity with the best math-editor features—plus the things that matter most inside Google Docs.
Core fix
True inline equations
Equations render at the correct baseline, size, and line-height of your surrounding text.
Core fix
Instant, client-side rendering
No “open editor → wait → insert” loop. Fast inserts keep you in flow.
New
Natural language → LaTeX
Type “sum from 1 to n of x squared” and get the equation instantly. No syntax memorization.
Parity
500+ symbols
Greek, operators, matrices, multiline, arrows—full coverage for everyday teaching and research.
Parity
Handwriting OCR
Write on a tablet/touchscreen. Converts to clean, editable LaTeX for quick refinement.
Parity
Chemistry toolbar
Periodic table, bonds, and common inorganic symbols—built for science teachers and lab docs.
Parity
LaTeX & WYSIWYG modes
Power users type LaTeX. Everyone else uses visual editing. Switch any time.
New
Equation library
Save reusable equations. Shared libraries for teams and school departments on group plans.
Offline-friendly
Works with patchy Wi‑Fi
Designed for classrooms and campuses. Your workflow shouldn’t collapse when the network is flaky.

FAQ
Quick answers (for buyers and admins)
The objections that usually block installs in schools and Workspace teams.
Does it work in Google Slides too?
If you support Slides insertion, say “Yes” and how. If not, be explicit here.

Do you store my document content?
State clearly what is stored (if anything), retention, and how to delete.
Does it really work offline?
Clarify what “offline” means (fully offline vs. resilient with patchy Wi‑Fi).
How do I cancel? What happens to existing equations?
Provide the cancellation path and what remains visible/editable after cancellation.
Can admins deploy to groups or domains?
Mention domain install, group assignment, seat management, and how to request a quote.
