I do not plan to use OCR.
I am thinking more along the lines of cutting and pasting a
section out of a
Portable Document Format (pdf) file that represents in
normal
mathematical notation a formula.
Acter doing the copy, use cut/paste buffer to generate
equivalent j code.
As I understand it ( probably wrong ) what is in the
cut/paste buffer is a sequence
of bytes which represents in pdf the formula. I am thinking
that different formulas
( no matter how little or how big the difference ) have
different bytes. So, no matter
how difficult, one should be able to transcribe from pdf
representation to j representation.
I think it would be way cool (1960s euphemism) to go to a
web page containing formula
for Physics and copy a pdf version of a formula and then
turn it into the j representation
automatically.
