Introduction
It's quite easy to write a client that uses MathTran.

Enso TeX Anywhere
Enso is a sort of assistant program that makes easier tasks that should be simple, such as pasting a map in an email. Its TeX Anywhere application allows you to turn TeX markup into beautifully formatted equations, in applications as varied as Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Gmail. Even better, it allows you to turn those images back into their original TeX markup. To do the typesetting, it uses the wonderful Mathtran web service.
One of the nice features of this client is that it knows that the TeX markup is stored in the image, and so it can turn the image back into the formula you gave it. (This looks magical, until you realise that the easiest way to get a rabbit out of a hat is to put it in there in the first place.)
Enso TeX Anywhere is available as a free beta download.
The separate page Enso TeX Anywhere contains more detailed instructions for use.
Equation Viewer (using Qt)
There are three versions of this client available:
- A simple equation viewer that allows mathematics to be entered in a text editor.
- An example to accompany the Using a Simple Web Service with Qt article in Qt Quarterly 23.
- The examples from a presentation at PyCon UK 2007 includes a more comprehensive editor based on previous versions, allowing the interface to be customized and images obtained from the MathTran service to be saved.
