Practical overview
When it fits
Use Texo Web when the source is an image of a mathematical formula and the desired next step is editable LaTeX, a rendered preview, or Typst or MathML output.
Who it is for
- People who need to turn formula images into editable LaTeX.
- Users who want to preview and edit recognized equations or convert them to Typst or MathML.
- Developers evaluating or working on a Vue and Nuxt application that uses Transformers.js for browser-based math OCR.
Documented uses
- Recognize a mathematical formula from an image and obtain LaTeX.
- Preview and edit the recognized equation in a WYSIWYG interface.
- Convert the formula output to Typst or MathML.
- Install dependencies and run the application’s local development server.
Requirements & limits
The repository documents a progressive web app. A community-contributed Tauri-based installable version for Windows is referenced separately from this repository.
- The app is built around the Texo OCR model and uses Transformers.js for its pipeline.
- The repository lists Typst conversion, MathML conversion, PWA support, and WYSIWYG editing as implemented.
- Model switching, WebGPU, and streaming output are listed as TODOs, not implemented features.
- Local development uses pnpm; the README notes a browser secure-context issue with the production preview command and recommends localhost.
- The repository is licensed under AGPL-3.0.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Start the Nuxt development server
Install the project dependencies and launch the documented local development server.
Before you start
- Node.js and pnpm
- A local copy of the Texo-web repository
Steps
Run
pnpm installto install dependencies.Run
pnpm devto start the development server athttp://localhost:3000.
Expected outcome
The README’s development server is available at localhost:3000.
Guide limitations
- This covers local setup and starting the development server, not deploying the application.
- The README advises against using the snap version of Node.js.
