Why choose Murfy over Overleaf for writing NeurIPS paper

Q. What is the core problem definition and contribution of your paper?
A. In this paper, we proposed a new preprocessing framework for Korean speech synthesis. The key lies in constructing balanced data at the consonant‑vowel unit, applying text normalization, and thereby improving speech synthesis quality. A particular strength is that it is designed to work even in low‑resource Korean environments.
Q. From Overleaf to Murfy: Why the change?
Existing issues with Overleaf
Collaboration limit: the free plan caps at two people, making collaboration with multiple undergraduates impossible.
Overleaf server went down for several hours just before NeurIPS deadline. We are super lucky to choose Murfy to write NeurIPS paper this year!
✅ Reasons for choosing Murfy
Fast and stable compile times
AI‑based English grammar correction → saves time compared to traditional external proofreading services
Features tailored for domestic researchers (Korean UI, Korean conference templates, etc.)
Actual effects: quantitative & qualitative data
Item | Overleaf | Murfy |
|---|---|---|
Average compile time | 10 sec | 4 sec |
Server down | Several server down happened includes NeurIPS 2025 submission | N/A |
Collaboration efficiency | When there are lots of comments then Overleaf goes slower a lot | No lagging |
Q. What suggestions or expectations do you have for Murfy?
A. Murfy already surpassed Overleaf in many ways. I think it will be really helpful if Murfy has an AI paper assistant who could assist you during the painful research paper writing journey.
Q. What onboarding tips does Professor Lee’s lab recommend for Murfy?
A. Murfy provides a Korean‑language interface for domestic users, and has already prepared LaTeX templates used in domestic conferences and journals — making it especially useful for students who start to write their first paper. In our lab, even students who are encountering LaTeX for the first time could relatively quickly adapt thanks to Murfy’s AI functionalities.
Without a complicated setup, they could load a template and start writing right away. In terms of lowering the entry barrier at the early stage of research, that was very impressive.
In closing
We hope that many more researchers — like Professor Lee’s lab — will be able to deliver their research outcomes in a fast, accurate LaTeX environment, rather than having to deal with “unstable servers” or “slow collaboration tools.”
Murfy will continue to offer an editor experience centered on researchers, and will create the “next stage” of paper writing!
