Other tablet
Turn handwritten notes into clean text files in Obsidian, Notion, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneNote.
If your tablet can email a PDF, it works with Flowstate.
Just email your notes from your tablet – 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 note on your tablet and share it as a PDF by email. 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.
- After you send it off, Flowstate turns your handwriting into text, adds a title, and automatically saves the formatted note to the destination you choose.
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
- Send pages as a PDF, not a PNG or image.
- To keep a multi-page note together, send all the pages in one email.
- If a note doesn't show up, check that you sent it to the right project address.
