We need a program to extract an accessible representation from PDFs produced by LaTeX.

I work in disability services and I can add a (perhaps slightly less biased) take that MathPix really is the real deal!

How does MathPix compare to EquatIO?

EquatIO is a MathpixOCR customer.

Cool! But how do you make money off of it? I understand MathPix is a company.

Snip is currently free. We charge companies for MathpixOCR API. We will probably charge heavy users of Snip in the future, so we can keep Snip free for light and medium usage.

On the Mac, the Equation Service or LaTeXit (?) included the source in the PDF so that it remained editable. Maybe the source would be easier to parse, especially if no macros were used.
