Equation to Word

Recognise a batch of equation images and produce validated MathML per result, with optional export to a DOCX containing OMML equations.

Uploads your file to be processed online

Free trial: 1 run of Equation to Word every day. After that, 2 credits per run. Each page or image counts as one run.

Recognise a batch of equation images and export them to Word

Add up to 20 equation images and get validated MathML for each, plus a single .docx containing every equation as native Office Math. Each image reports its own outcome, so one failure does not discard the rest. Recognition runs on an external provider, so the images are transmitted.

What Equation to Word gives you

Batch of up to 20

Process a set of equations in one pass rather than repeating a single-image tool twenty times.

MathML per result

Each recognised equation is converted to MathML you can copy individually.

One Word document for the set

Export every equation into a single .docx as native Office Math that Word edits directly.

Per-image outcomes

Every row reports its own success or failure, so a single bad photograph does not cost you the batch.

Flags what will not convert

Constructs that cannot be represented in Office Math are named rather than quietly dropped.

How to use Equation to Word

  1. Add your images

    Up to 20 equation images, one equation per image works best.

  2. Recognise

    Each image is sent in turn and its result reported separately.

  3. Review each row

    Check the LaTeX and MathML against the source images.

  4. Download

    Take individual MathML fragments or the combined Word document.

Limitations

  • Recognition accuracy has not been measured.

Questions about Equation to Word

Is MathML the same as a Word file?

No. MathML is an XML fragment. A separate DOCX export is offered when you need an actual Word document.

What if one image fails?

Each file reports its own outcome; one failure does not discard the successful results.

How many equations can I convert at once?

Up to 20 images in one pass. One equation per image gives the most reliable result, because a crowded page is harder to segment than a single clean expression.

What happens if one image fails?

Only that row fails. Each image reports its own outcome, so a single bad photograph does not discard the nineteen that worked, and you can re-add just the one that needs another attempt.

Is a MathML file the same as a Word document?

No. MathML is an XML fragment for systems that consume it directly, such as equation editors and publishing pipelines. Use the .docx export when you need something Word opens by itself.

Is my content uploaded?

Yes. Each image is sent to an external provider to be read, which is stated before you submit. The images and the results are never logged by us.

How should I prepare the images?

Crop out surrounding prose so each image holds one equation, and photograph straight on in even light. Then check each recognised result against its source before exporting, since accuracy has not been measured.

Should I use this or Math Document to Word?

This one for a batch of separate equation images. Math Document to Word for whole pages and multipage PDFs that mix prose with mathematics, where document order matters.
