Hand TeX is a GUI tool that lets you draw the symbol to find out what LaTeX command to use.
Hand TeX renders your strokes to a flat image and uses a convolutional neural network to classify the symbol. This approach ignores the order you draw the strokes in, focusing solely on the shape of the symbol.
This is free and open source software.
