CoreTex · Word → LaTeX
Production-grade Word → LaTeX converter for academic writers
CoreTex — Word to LaTeX, in seconds. Stop wrestling with Pandoc or retyping equations at 2 AM. CoreTex is a compiler-grade pipeline that turns anydocx into clean, compilable LaTeX OMML equations, Unicode math, tables, citations, and IEEE/ACM/Springer templates, all preserved. Drop your file, get a submission-readytex, and open it in Overleaf in one click. Built for researchers who write and devs who ship. FastAPI + React + Redis. Open source. 3 hours to 3 seconds.
Hey Product Hunt!
I built CoreTex after watching too many friends (and myself) lose entire weekends converting Word drafts into LaTeX for IEEE and ACM submissions. Pandoc mangles equations. mammoth.js drops math entirely. Hand-retyping a 20-page paper at 2 AM the night before a deadline is a special kind of pain.
So I treated the problem like a compiler. CoreTex parses .docx into a strict intermediate representation, then renders LaTeX from that IR - equations, Unicode math (~140 glyphs), tables, citations, figures, and conference templates all survive the trip. A 20-page paper that used to take 3 hours now takes 3 seconds, and you can open the result in Overleaf with one click.
The build evolved a lot. v1 was a single script that tried to do everything. v2 split parser and renderer but still leaked Word XML into LaTeX strings. v3 -what shipped today , enforces the IR as the only contract between layers, which made every handler independently testable and finally got us to 60 passing tests.
It's fully open source (MIT). Would love feedback from anyone who's fought this fight , what edge cases broke your last conversion? I want CoreTex to handle them.
