# 5 Tips for Better Handwriting Recognition
|
||||
|
||||
Getting clean, accurate LaTeX from handwritten math doesn't require perfect penmanship. But a few simple habits can dramatically improve your results.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Use Dark Ink on Light Paper
|
||||
|
||||
High contrast is the single biggest factor in recognition accuracy. A dark pen (black or dark blue) on white or light paper gives TexPixel the clearest signal. Pencil works too, but press firmly.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Give Symbols Room to Breathe
|
||||
|
||||
Cramped formulas are harder for both humans and AI to read. Leave clear gaps between:
|
||||
- Fraction bars and the expressions above/below them
|
||||
- Subscripts and superscripts and their base symbols
|
||||
- Parentheses and the terms they enclose
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Be Deliberate with Similar Characters
|
||||
|
||||
Some characters are notoriously ambiguous in handwriting:
|
||||
- **1, l, |** — make your ones with a serif or flag
|
||||
- **0, O, o** — zeros should be narrower and more oval
|
||||
- **x, ×** — use a clear multiplication dot (·) when you mean "times"
|
||||
- **u, v** — round bottom vs. pointed bottom
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Keep Your Camera Steady
|
||||
|
||||
If you're photographing notes with a phone:
|
||||
- Hold the phone parallel to the paper (not at an angle)
|
||||
- Make sure the lighting is even — no harsh shadows across the formula
|
||||
- Get close enough that the formula fills most of the frame
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. One Formula Per Upload
|
||||
|
||||
TexPixel works best when each image contains a single formula or a closely related set of expressions. If you have a page full of equations, crop them individually for best results.
|
||||

|
||||
With these habits, you'll see noticeably better accuracy — often 95%+ even for complex handwritten expressions.
