Save Notes from Your Tablet to OneNote
To save your tablet notes to OneNote, email a PDF from your tablet to your Flowstate project address. Flowstate transcribes the handwriting and saves each note as a page in the OneNote section you choose, usually within a couple of minutes.

Why OneNote can't do this on its own
OneNote can hold your tablet's PDF export, but it won't reliably transcribe the handwriting, follow your shorthand, or file it into the right section for you.
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 OneNote. It usually takes just a couple minutes.
A copy of the original handwriting or audio file is also saved to OneNote and linked to from the note.
Common questions
Do I need to install anything on the device?
No. You use the built-in send-by-email feature — nothing to install on the tablet itself.
Where do notes land in OneNote?
Each note becomes its own page in the notebook and section you choose, or gets appended to an existing page.
How much does it cost?
Flowstate runs on credits. One page of handwriting, or one minute of audio, is one credit. You start with 50 free credits, no card required, and top up whenever you're running low. Purchased credits never expire.
Does Flowstate rewrite my notes?
No. It transcribes what you wrote, cleans up the formatting, and files it where it belongs. Your words stay your words.
