Anyone with experience in text recognition?

So, I was thinking of a chemistry app.

With a similar interface as this:
https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/balancing-chemical-equations

But, of course the student should be able to use his/her own chemistry equation to balance.

That could be an input text field, OR, take a picture of the equation, and then text
recognition.

Anyone with experience in this? :)
