The Latex OCR plugin allows Obsidian users to convert images of equations into editable LaTeX code within their vault. By leveraging either the HuggingFace API or a locally-run model, the plugin can generate LaTeX equations from clipboard images or existing image files through contextual commands. Users can configure the plugin to suit their workflow, including enabling local processing for enhanced control. This tool is particularly useful for academic, technical, and scientific note-taking, offering a streamlined way to incorporate precise mathematical and technical content into Obsidian notes.

The LaTeX-OCR plugin integrates the LaTeX-OCR tool into Obsidian, allowing users to convert images of LaTeX-rendered equations back into raw LaTeX code. It adds a convenient button in the ribbon and a command palette option for quick access, as well as an optional status bar indicator to monitor the process. This plugin streamlines the workflow for users working with mathematical or technical content, making it easy to edit or reuse equations in Markdown notes.
