Read the mathematics in a PDF
Older mathematical papers show their equations and record none of them: no MathML, no tags, often no usable character map. A screen reader falls silent over them, or reads nonsense. Upload one and get its formulas back — spoken, or as LaTeX, MathML, AsciiMath, Word, or WordPerfect 5.1.

All born-digital TeX from arXiv, which is what this reads. Each was run through the decompiler first, so the descriptions are measurements rather than guesses. Download one, then upload it above.
-
Finite extinction time for the solutions to the Ricci flow
Short, and dense from the first page — the quickest way to see this work. Seven displayed equations and about three hundred formulas inside sentences.
-
The entropy formula for the Ricci flow
The paper this decompiler was measured against. Around 1800 formulas in all; the mathematics starts at page 5, the first four being prose.
-
The Large N limit of superconformal field theories and supergravity
Physics rather than pure mathematics, so the notation is different: operators, indices and a lot of inline algebra.
-
The MDS Queue: analysing the latency performance of erasure codes
Erasure coding and queueing theory, if you would rather read something closer to systems work.
Note: Mostly *not* recognised, and included as an honest counter-example. It is set in Times rather than Computer Modern, and mathematics is identified by the font TeX switched to — so its equations look like prose. This is the edge of what the decompiler claims to read.
