Flowstate + Kindle Scribe
Turn handwritten notes from Kindle Scribe 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 email your notes from Kindle Scribe – 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.
Email your notes
- Flowstate gives you a unique email address for each save location, so you can route different notes to different places. Journal pages get saved in one place, lecture notes to another.
- Open your Kindle Scribe notebook. Select the pages you want to send, tap the share icon and choose to send it by email, as a PDF. Enter your Flowstate email address.
- If you want, you can use the email body to 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 email your notes as a PDF.
- Send multiple pages together if you want them to be a single note.
- If a note doesn't show up, check that you sent it to the right project.
