Mathematical symbols and expressions input from keyboard using LaTeX commands are displayed immediately in the form of printing style on the display of PC. We released an authoring tool " InftyEditor" of mathematical documents, very easy and smooth to input mathematical expressions, with WYSIWYG environment.
It is developed in view of its application to retro-digitization of mathematical journals, to automatic transcription of scientific documents into Braille codes, etc.Īuthoring Tool of Mathematical Documents - An Easy Learning Software of LaTeX The system recognizes scanned page images of scientific documents including mathematical expressions and output the results in LaTeX, HTML, XML etc. In the project, we are developing an integrated mathematical document reader system " InftyReader" using OCR (Optical Character Recognition). Research on the accessibility of scientific information for visually impaired people, in collaboration with a nonprofit organization Science Accessibility Net.Ĭan computer recognize mathematical expressions printed on.Research on the user interfaces for scientific information.Research on the digitization technology of scientific documents.The current main subjects of our research are the followings: InftyProject is featured by its policy of research activity to have overriding priority in the application of the results of the research to practical system development, usable in research, education or welfare of science and technology. InftyProject is a voluntary R&D organization consisting of researchers from different universities and research institutes to investigate and develop new systems to process scientific information by computer.
