Gui Input Tools for Math [UKMC09]

G
Greg TAPPERO

The document summarizes and compares different graphical user interface (GUI) tools for inputting mathematics. It provides an overview of tools such as MathType, Mathtran, Edoboard, Wiris, Sitmo, Detexify, the Math Input Panel for Windows 7, Word 2007, Math Magic, Formulator, and Publicon. For each tool, it lists pros and cons in point form. The document concludes by suggesting which tools may be best suited for different use cases such as use in a learning management system like Moodle, web-based equation editing, advanced desktop applications, live math tutoring, handwriting recognition, or a free simple desktop equation editor.
