I just want an eink tablet that lets me search my handwriting using grep. It's almost 2023, why doesn't something like this exist!?!

- mt_ 4y agoIf your writing is decent you can pipe images into a OCR.
- sickmate 4y agoOnyx Boox tablets can convert your handwritten notes to text, and export them as TXT files. I'm not certain but the export can probably be automated. At work I use the handwriting keyboard input to write directly into Confluence notes.
- djmips 4y agoActually I suspect they want a tablet that does all this automatically and in the background and integrated. So searching would literally find theb hand written text not some pipe line of exporting to a text file.
- blindseer 4y agoYes exactly! I don't want my handwriting to be converted to text and displayed to me, just converted to text and stored in the background for searching.
- ilija139 4y agoNot an eink tablet, but Samsung Notes app on Samsung tablets do exactly this. It lets you search your handwriting without converting the handwriting into text first.
