Handwritten Notes in Obsidian with an E-Ink Tablet (Note Air 3c)

[@krishnaravi6776]

Neat and tidy worflow. I was manually adding notes pdf to obsidian.

Great workflow!! My use case is exactly the same, NA3C with obsidian installed. I tried doing exactly the same you do on this video but Obsidian does not appear in the list of applications to share with. Would you have any idea if some option should be activated or what would be the reason for obsidian not being available? Thanks so much for sharing

[@RandomWorkflowGuy]

@@jordisf75 Do you also use Obsidian Sync? If not this could be one possibility. I can check if I can choose any options when exporting the note.

[@jordisf75]

@@RandomWorkflowGuy Thanks for your response. I Finally got Obsidian option, not sure how. I use Autosync to synchronize with Google Drive. What I did is, inside Obsidian app I manually inserted a Pdf document. It worked perfectly as expected. Then, did again exactly the same you show in your video and Obsidian was just there as an option to share with. May be pdf format is not "related" to obsidian untill you perform the action from the Obsidian application itself, then, Obsidian is recognized as an app to share pdf with. This is just a Guess. Thanks again for your content, I'm absolutely Following you!!

Have you ever considered to use Obsidian's Excalidraw plugin? To see how it works

[@RandomWorkflowGuy]

yes, the latency is equally poor (for every handwriting plugin). I will make a vid to show.

[@pedritolospalotes]

Is it now improved in air 4C or in tab ultra c pro?

[@RandomWorkflowGuy]

@ I guess not as it's not a hardware problem. The obsidian app needed to be optimized for e-ink (like onenote) to have a better drawing experience. But yeah, would be nice to know...

[@casparsnelling4017]

I use Notion and am curious how well the Note Air 3 C works with that app

[@RandomWorkflowGuy]

@@casparsnelling4017 When you can make handwritten notes directly inside the app I guess the latency is high as well. But just for navigating, reading notes and making notes with the handrecognition keyboard of the Na3c it will most likely function great!

[@desireco]

So you can't use it directly. I have Boox Mini Tab and it is beyond slow and it isn't good for Obsidian, One Note works strangely

[@RandomWorkflowGuy]

@@desireco exactly, this is because OneNote is one of the very rare optimized apps for handwriting on the boox devices.
