At least for formulae, it would probably be cheaper and more flexible to use a graphics tablet or tablet computer, and something like the Freehand Formula Entry System: http://research.cs.queensu.ca/drl/ffes/ . There is also http://jequation.sourceforge.net/ and JMathNotes ( http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/tapia/projects.php , near bottom of page), though I haven't tried any of them.
