We're Artas Alajbegu and Natalie Tedeschi, two sophomore math majors who just developed SpLaTeX.
LaTeX is a document typesetting language used commonly for writing math papers and used nearly universally by math and computer science students here at Carnegie Mellon University.
Transcribing written notes into LaTeX files is tedious, and the time adds no value to what students gain from their problem sets. Additionally, we've noticed a tremendous learning curve where freshmen unfamiliar with the language waste unnecessary hours searching for commands and adapting themselves to the language.
SpLaTeX automates this process. Students can dictate their solutions and SpLaTeX will provide them with the LaTeX code they need in seconds.
Looking forward, we plan on making SpLaTeX into a chrome extension, so that students can dictate directly into a LaTeX window on their browser. Our aim is to make SpLaTeX a universal tool that millions of students, faculty, and research journal editors use to assist them in writing math.
