I am not an Android user, but I primarily rely on a cross-platform note taking app that supports Android. Does Android with this device support OS-native OCR to convert writing to text? I'm curious if this is usable with Standard Notes.

I currently own and use a reMarkable 2 daily, and then transcribe notes to Standard Notes when I'm near my computer. Would love something that lets me skip the transcription step with the advantages of e-ink / writing with a stylus.




standard notes has an android app you could use! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.standardno...

and we're working on OS level native OCR

in the meantime you could use myscript nebo

It looks like Nebo is an alternative note-taking app? I will email the Standard Notes dev team and see if they are planning to do the lift for OCR on this type of device. I see upthread someone has mentioned Obsidian will do so.
