You can then convert the block of handwriting itself into text, or copy the converted text to the clipboard. It takes it a noticeable amount of time to do the conversion. Notability clearly uses stroke information as well as straight OCR, and can usually read handwriting that it frankly has no business being able to read. Notability does a remarkably good job with handwriting recognition when you explicitly tell it to within the app. Relevant to all of this, I wonder if people have seen the Manifesto for Ubiquitous Linking that appeared recently, spearheaded by Angel Vu (PDFpen) together with a note of names from a bunch of different companies and Thanks for the reply. My world would be WILDLY better if LiquidText had a custom deep linking URL scheme. I may wind up going with Notability for marking up PDFs, but using OneNote for just handwritten notes. I’m trying to make myself believe that accessing Notability’s PDFs will do the trick, but I may not succeed. I’m wondering if there might also be a way to use the Macs native OCR capability to grab images in OneNote, do the OCR, and write it out.Īnother huge problem with OneNote is that it does a poor job importing PDFs for markup.īut while I would prefer not to use OneNote, I absolutely cannot live without being able to access research materials and notes with URLs.

On the other hand, if I need OCR I can always save it as a PDF and do the OCR there.

Apart from the fact that it is MicroSoft, they have made the kind of absurd decision not to support OCR on the Mac version. I truly loathe the idea of moving my note taking to OneNote for a number of reasons. All of the above can of course be easily automated. You have the current version of the deep linked location in the note sitting in front of you in OneNote, ready to go. When you open the link, specify “Open link in MicroSoft Onenote”.īingo.When linking from DEVONthink (or any other app), preface the web URL with onenote:// (i.e., enter the URL as onenote://… ) The link that you get will be to the web location of the note.Inside OneNote, copy a note or paragraph within a note as a link.OneNote DOES support deep linking, and these links can be accessed and opened locally from inside DEVONthink: Notability desperately needs a custom URL scheme, preferably with deep linking.Īs much as I hate to say it, I may have to start using OneNote instead of Notability. The other problem is that while Notability is perfectly happy to read in one of those files as a NEW note, what it will not do is simply open the existing note in the app. But when you look at iCloud Drive, no Notability folder appears, even as a hidden file. When you do so the folder opens and claims to live under iCloud Drive. The first is that you can access the relevant folder by going to System Preferences → iCloud → Manage Storage → Notability → Open in Finder. Since Notability has a desktop app, that would be beautiful. Although past handwritten notes can easily be imported rather than just indexed.Īnother solution would be to index the.

I have not played with indexing in DTTG, but anticipate it will fail there.

I am assuming that as long as the name of the DropBox folder is the same on all machines that notes will be indexed and accessible for every machine sharing that database.

How does OCR work in this case? Is it lost when notes upgrade? My guess is, “of course it is,” but perhaps you can tell me what to expect.

There are some things that I’ve not played with: So if you index that folder into DEVONthink you automatically have PDFs of all of your handwritten notes.Īgain, I am not certain how well this is going to work in practice, but the tests I’ve run so far work well. The new copy of a note overwrites the previous copy. Notability has a feature that allows you to automatically back up PDFs of the latest copy of all of your notes to DropBox. I use Notability for taking handwritten notes. I’m not sure where this issue is at the moment, and since I’m still in the process of building a new information infrastructure for my work (following Evernote’s decision a while ago to drop scripting support) I can’t swear as to how well it will work out.

If so, I very much look forward to hearing about them. It is possible that I am behind the curve here, and others have found better solutions.

The question at hand is how to bring the wonderful world of handwritten notes in DEVONthink. I just posted this as a response under DTTG, but realize that it probably belongs here.
