>From a colleague, AnnMarie Short... might be worth taking a look.

Design Science creators of MathType joined forces with WIRIS about a year

similarly to MathType. Check out the demo: http://www.wiris.com/

Currently, ChemType has limited capabilities, but the company plans to
expand the tool in the near future.
