It can produce TeX and LaTeX code from its equations. You can even place equations in flowcharts made with programs like Visio. It works with many Windows applications that TeX does not work directly with, such as word processors, presentation programs like PowerPoint, and many more. While its mouse-centric user interface is somewhat the opposite of TeX's, it has a number of features that may be of interest to members of the TeX community: MathType is a point and click mathematical equation editor.
