I take notes using a Livescribe Echo pen as I am reading. It gets OCRd about 90% correctly. I fix the last 10% manually. The whole point of taking the notes is because I have a horrible memory :).
- bewe42 9y agowow, I never heard of this Livescribe pen. It looks amazing, How well does it work? I love to scribble on paper but refrained from it as I want my notes in digital form and scanning or something like that would be too much hassle. I always wanted to build something better for taking notes (many ideas from social, to comparing notes etc.), I think that could be very useful. I wish at least the Kindle had an API to get my highlights out.
- latishsehgal 9y agoThe notes are scanned as an image, so everything depends on your handwriting. The image looks exactly like what you typed on the notebook. The scanning/OCR process to extract the text out depends on your handwriting. My handwriting is pretty bad, but I get 80-90% accuracy in the OCR
