From PDFs, scans, or handwritten notes to a clean, editable LaTeX document — with AI assistance at every step.
🔭
Vision-based OCR
Powered by Qwen3-VL, a state-of-the-art vision-language model. Accurately recognises complex equations, tables, and multi-column layouts that traditional OCR misses entirely.
🌍
Multilingual OCR
Qwen3-VL reads 32 languages — English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and more — and stays robust in low light, blur, and tilt. Scan a document in almost any language and get clean LaTeX back.
⚡
Two models — fast & precise
Pick your engine per document: the Qwen3-VL 8B model for maximum accuracy on handwriting, slides, and dense mixed layouts, or the lighter 4B model for faster extraction on straightforward pages. Switch anytime from the top bar — both run fully on-device.
🛠️
Built-in LaTeX compiler
A bundled Tectonic engine compiles your LaTeX into a finished PDF with one click — previewed instantly inside the app. No MacTeX, no terminal, no cloud. If a build fails, select the region and let the AI fix it. It's a real AI-powered LaTeX editor, not just an OCR export.
🖊️
Handwriting to LaTeX
Drop in a photo or scan of handwritten notes — equations, derivations, lecture notes — and GhostTeX transcribes them into valid LaTeX. Works with PNG and JPEG images.
✏️
Editable Output
The generated LaTeX is fully editable right inside the app. Full undo/redo support — make quick fixes without switching to an external editor.
💬
Chat with Qwen
Highlight an equation in the editor and ask the AI assistant to split it into multiple lines, convert to an align* environment, fix a misread symbol, add labels, or simplify notation. You can also ask it to explain what an equation means. The chat sees your full LaTeX context and the original page image — so its corrections are precise, not generic.
📐
Equation Check
Heuristic equation validator automatically flags common LaTeX math errors — missing delimiters, unclosed environments, unbalanced braces — before you compile.
📑
Multi-page Documents
Processes entire papers page by page with smooth streaming output. Handles research papers, theses, and technical reports of any length.
💾
Export & Copy
Save the result as a .tex file with one click, or copy straight to your clipboard. Compatible with Overleaf, TeXShop, and any LaTeX editor.
🗞️
Any Layout, Any Document
Handles single-column papers, double-column journals, academic posters, slides, and mixed-layout documents. The vision model understands page structure, not just text.
📝
Markdown Output
Need Markdown instead of LaTeX? GhostTeX can output .md with inline math — ready for Obsidian, Notion, Quarto, or any Markdown-based workflow.
