I’ve been taking handwritten notes using my Rocketbook when I’m away from the computer, and I’d like to get them into my vault via a workflow more reasonable than emailing myself my notes and then copying them to Obsidian.

Does anyone do this? What’s your workflow?

I already looked for plugins and there are none.

    Check out this handy link courtesy of the Obisidan discord. Syncing between devices can be somewhat cumbersome if you don’t want to pay for Obsidian Sync, but a lot of people (myself included) have success with using FolderSync on android with whatever cloud service you have your notes on.

    I pay for Obsidian Sync because I really like what the developers have built and want to support them.

    It is extremely convenient. I mostly use my Rocketbook for drafting and brainstorming and then refine it by rewriting it into Obsidian.

    I’d imagine the Android App and Sync would be sufficient since RocketBook supports OCR.

    I use an iphone and ipad and have shortcuts that paste images of scans into my daily notes and other places. I actually use Scanner Pro app which produces a pretty good image. I use exercise books (A5-ish size) as I found the slighly smaller pages more useful. The ios shortcuts are super-simple to make.

    I do have a Rocketbook and used to use it a few years ago when I had my notes stored in Evernote. Rocketbook is a great idea but I never got used to the plastic, textureless feel of the pages.

    What I don’t do is any form of OCR on my handwritten notes though.
