Copilot for Overleaf
A GPT powered English-to-LaTeX translator that fits neatly into your Overleaf workflow. In other words, an absolute life-saver for non-math majors.
- Convert English descriptions of formulae to LaTeX ("the gradient of A is B transposed plus C")
- Describe matrices Matlab style ("A = [1, 2, 3; 2, 4, 5]")
- Simply write out names of theorems or equations and translate them directly ("The equation for Multihead Attention from Attention is All You Need" or "Insert the Time Hierarchy Theorem").
- Automatically create typeset tables ("A table with three columns titled Name, School, and Email").
- Served as an incredibly light Chrome extension. The
contentScript.js
andbackground.js
files are only 833 bytes and 527 bytes, respectively. - And many more left for you to discover...
- Navigate to the "build" folder.
- Open up
build/contentScript.js
. Replace the one instance of "YOUR API KEY" with a valid OpenAI API key. - Go to
chrome://extensions/
in your browser and check the box forDeveloper mode
in the top right. - Load an unpacked extension. Select the
build
folder. - Refresh any Overleaf tabs that you have open.
You're ready to go! Right click on highlighted text within Overleaf and select "Convert to LaTeX" ๐
