Are there any programs to take handwritten material and import it into programs like Memos or Trilium? (github.com)

I found some that do the opposite, take digital writing and format into a printed list.

Via the pine64 blog update about their e-ink tablet TIL about inkput (using OnlineHTR) which appears to be a step in the right direction.

That's a cool device! Never heard of it before. Def not 100% what I imagined but this is still a cool find. Thank you for thinking of me a week later :)

So you say "programs like Trilium". Have you looked at Joplin?

Joplin comes with OCR albeit for search only. I myself have not tried it yet, but Joplin itself is a great note app.

Also Joplin seems to have an in development plugin for extracting text via OCR.

Maybe you can then export it to Trilium, if this a one time thing.

I don't know if you're into this, but this would be a perfect project to learn a new language or framework.

If the apps don't support them, then no.

[–] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah they don't but is there some program that is good at OCR/HCR then I can script it into these?

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

If the application supports an API of some sort, you could run OCR, then send them over API as converted input.
