I see an android ware - Detexify for android (https://market.android.com/details?id=coolcherrytrees.software.detexify) - that recognizes handwritten math TeX symbols, but it works only for one symbol at a time. Its more like a lookup table for tex symbols.

Does anyone know of something similar that works live as we are taking notes? (something like Microsoft's Equation Writer (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/tabletpc/educationpack/overview4.mspx) or Xthink's MathJournal (http://www.xthink.com/MathJournal.html), both of which can output in LaTeX format).

There are some open-source initiatives like JEquation (http://jequation.sourceforge.net/) and Detexify (http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html), but both of them render only one equation at a time OR only one symbol at a time, respectively.
