MatTalX

Write math anywhere

With MatTalX, you write a LaTeX command and get the Unicode character it stands for — \alpha becomes 𝛼 — so it can be sent through any platform or website that takes plain text.

Add to Chrome Add to Firefox Try it in the browser

Free and open source. The only permission it asks for is storage, to keep your work in progress — it cannot see your history or your tabs.

Fast & easy to use

MatTalX works where you are already writing. Write the command, press the shortcut, and it is replaced where it stands — no popup, no copying, no switching tab.

Never leave the text box.

It works by converting the commands into Unicode text, therefore making it possible to communicate math concepts in messages, emails, and social media posts!

Try it!

Typing a command: the suggestion box lists \subseteq, and Alt+Shift+W converts it where it was written A message reading 'The limit is 𝛼ₙ → 0 when 𝑛 → ∞.', converted from LaTeX where it was written An email defining a contour integral, converted from LaTeX where it was written A command the user built, \bbR, giving the same ℝ as \mathbb{R} Chess moves written with \wking and \bqueen, converted to ♔ and ♛ The MatTalX popup: LaTeX in the first box, the converted text in the second

About

MatTalX is an open-source project developed to enable peers, friends, teachers, and students to discuss mathematics, physics, chemistry, or any other related subject efficiently on any platform. It works by converting LaTeX commands into Unicode text, therefore making it possible to write math symbols anywhere on the internet.
Our main goals are to provide the widest range of symbols possible while being incredibly fast.
If you have any suggestions, we would greatly appreciate your comments!
