Hieroglyphic – find LaTeX symbols

Hieroglyphic allows you to search through over 1,000 different LaTeX symbols by sketching.

Once you found the desired symbol you can copy it to the clipboard by clicking on the entry. Hieroglyphic is powered by a machine learning model, trained on a modified version of the detexify data.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Over 1,000 LaTeX symbols across multiple packages (same set as detexify).
  • Runs completely offline.
  • Opt into contributing recognized symbols to improve the classification.
