Flowstate + iPad
Turn handwritten notes from your iPad into clean text files in Obsidian, Notion, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneNote.
Flowstate turns your handwriting into formatted text and saves it to the apps you already use.
Just share handwritten notes from your favorite writing app – Flowstate will automatically transcribe them according to your instructions and deliver them to the location you choose.
Choose where to save your notes
Set this once — then every note you upload automatically gets saved to the same place.
Save each note as its own markdown file in your vault, or append notes to an existing file.
Share to Flowstate
- Use any handwriting app to take notes — GoodNotes, Notability, Apple Notes, saves, or wherever you write.
- Tap the share icon. Pick Flowstate.
- If you want, you can give Flowstate optional instructions for how to read your notes. For example, tell Flowstate how to interpret your shorthand, or how to turn handwritten symbols into formatting, tags, and more.
- Send it off!
Flowstate takes it from there
After you send in your note, Flowstate transcribes it, adds a title, and automatically saves it to the location you chose in Obsidian using the Flowstate Obsidian plugin. It usually takes just a couple minutes.
A copy of the original handwriting or audio file is also saved to your attachment folder and embedded within each note.
A few tips
- Make sure you share your notes as a PDF.
- Send multiple pages together if you want them all in one note.
- If a note doesn't show up, check that you sent it to the right project.
