this question has been what's been stopping me from buying an e-ink device... I've used obsidian for about 1 year and I can't do without it. PERFECT video, thank you so much!
Thanks for that. In terms of remarkable - and exporting text instead of handwriting, what i found useful is pasting it into chatgpt and asking it to correct punctuation, pronounciation and divide it in paragraphs. It works pretty well.
Another way to move notes from a Supernote into Notion....I use the QR Code Export feature, text it with my iPhone to my Mac and drag and drop the image into Notion. Works super quick.
I started building a Supernote Obsidian plugin that parses note files directly and generates markdown and PNG files all within Obsidian. I hope it might make your workflow a bit easier to deal with.
Not a question but more of a comment; I'm glad you're still making videos. I'm sure they're really niche but a lot of your older videos on productivity tools on Mac has helped me lots.
Thanks for the video; after you've exported an image of your handwriting from whatever e-ink device you are using may I suggest 1)opening Google Keep 2) click on img icon "new note from image" 3) click on ... hamburger menu 4) click on "Grab image text" DONE - I find the OCR handwriting to be very good , even multilingual. Now you can copy & paste or share into Obsidian in your favorite way.
Why not just snap a photo with google keep or Evernote scannable app which will save it in Evernote? If so why not just snap a photo of a note written on paper?
Thanks! This answered a lot of questions I had about the remarkable 2 and the pkm workflow and if/when I wanted to invest in one. I also didn't know there's an email function. It's nice to see it in action. I use the Google suite as my system
Thanks for the video! Looks like all you can get is either pure images or pure text files. What I'd really like to see from the industry is a possibility to cpnvert the notes into *searchable* PDFs, with the (OCR'd) text behind the image like a regular PDF created fully digitally.
If you’re sync’ing obsidian, you could save the text directly to your cloud-based vault, and it’ll be there when you open obsidian. If you pipe it into GPT and ask it to structure the text, it’ll do a pretty good job of it. Not rephrase it or revise it, just structure it. You then just need to go through it and revise it. Saves you the time of going through one long block of unstructured text.
I use the Rocketbook and the workflow is so much easier. I send my notes to my OneDrive and email to Readwise and it just works. Both make their way to Obsidian and I use Omnisearch to find files.
Hey, thank you for the nice walkthrough. Have you revisited this process with the latest updates on the supernote, like Drive Synch, Text Notes and so on?
As Boox are an Android based devices, why don't you share the note txt/pdf directly with Obsidian? Because using Drive as a backup component in your workflow?
I would be really interesting to see your workflow with it. Because I use both obsidian and the rm2 daily and i'm curious to know how you use it, because I'd like to use it too, but i dont see why.
Check out something like Transkribus, its an AI model you train on your own handwritting to improve at the handwritting to text conversion over time. There's also an API you could theoreticlly connect to Obsidian.
I was wondering how good is Boox text recognition if I write using markdown syntax. For example writing bold texts as **bold text** using handwriting. Will boox retain these characters?
Thanks for the video @BrandonKBoswell it helps a lot. I am wondering if there is a specific workflow on remarkable to Obsidian for both ePubs & PDFs with highlight and notes... I am getting a bit confused on how to get notes on certain paragraphs and the highlights out and conform everything back in obsidian as notes... and I am guessing metadata is not in the game?? in any case, thanks for sharing and bring some light to it.
Here's hoping the Kindle Scribe is a little more seamless than this. Seems painful to get notes from any of these tablets into Obsidian... It also seems like you'd have to take a while correcting all the poorly transcribed errors when converting from handwriting to typing. It'd be good to know if a different solution like handwriting on an iPad is a little less clunky. Each of these solutions had too many steps to want to do this every day. Thanks for the video! My thinking is that the creators of these tablets want you to use their own note taking systems only and aren't thinking about exports to Obsidian etc.
🤞, but I wouldn't hold your breath, at least initially. The cleanup is definitely necessary. Again, I do this for maybe 1/20 notes, but people are constantly asking me about this, so I figured I would show them why it's not as seamless as you might think. I don't think the companies are actively trying to block you in, I just think it takes a ton of effort and planning to make sharing effortless. The reMarkable does a great job at this and that is why I think they are the leader here. I would love to see Apple open up universal clipboard to external developers, but I don't see that happening any time soon.
which e ink tablet has the best writing to text in terms of accuracy and also in terms of time of conversion? as a university student, i prefer hand writing my notes and for most assignments the prof. requires typed documents. i prefer hand writing for rough outlines as well as for the final draft . since my assignments need to be typed a lot of the time, i have to basically do it 3 times; 1 rough outline, 2 final complete draft, 3 typed out. it would be more convenient if i could just convert my final draft into text without having to spend time typing it out.
This should be what you’re looking for: Is e-Ink handwriting conversion accurate? (reMarkable 2 / iPad / Boox / SuperNote / Kindle Scribe) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z2iAsf-5ZRI.html
Great video!!! I just asked how to do this on your last video, so perfect timing (I just watched the last video earlier today). New question, do you think that this new 3.0 update will make college class note taking a bit easier. I'm looking to buy/ request a reMarkable later this year for Christmas. Do you think it's worth the buy?
Yes. Being able to have one page per topic or session is a big upgrade. I think the decision would likely between this and GoodNotes on the IPad. The benefit of GoodNotes is you can include images and other multimedia easily, but the writing experience on the iPad just isn’t very good.
@@BrandonKBoswell The main reasoning is the budget. Money ain't just growing on trees at the moment. So, $400 over $1000 is looking great to me, plus I don't need more distracting devices.
@@adamdaugherty9377 exactly. If you are trying to save money buy it without a stylus and then buy the Staedler Norris jumbo. It’s cheaper and just as good.
@@BrandonKBoswell The Staedler Norris jumbo looks so bulky and weird in my opinion. Is there another stylus that you think would be better. Also, is the eraser even that useful? With the future tap commands won't the eraser just get phased out with the ease of tapping to undo?
@@adamdaugherty9377 The tap commands do reduce the dependency on the eraser, but I still find myself using it for things I didn't just write. The Staedler is nice because it just works out of the box. If you are technical and are willing to install the hacks then the Samsung S-Pen or the Lamy EMR pen would become my recommendation. (Their eraser buttons don't work on the reMarkable without the hacks)
uff, nice effort, but that's just looks like something I would never ever willingly did, slow, and return of time investment is not really appealing, imho - but that's me.
