typing in Org mode than writing by hand.

+- I always love the way Bala records his talks :D
+- i read every word
+- Apple notes scanning is working very well these days.
+- OneNote is super locked-in these days.
+- Thank you Prof!
+- Lol @ just type out the damn note XD. It's a good point, but I have over a year of handwritten notes that I haven't bothered typing out ;-)
+- I have had some success with tesseract and my handwritten notes
+- has anyone training such a OCR system to make it more accurate for your handwriting or additional symbols.
+- shh I've been using Google Cloud Vision to get the text out of my sketches =)
+- wow what a refined video. really solid editing. this is enjoyable to watch
+- would it be better to use OCR or to read the notes and use speech-to-text?
+- Does it work well with free software, klavul
+- hmh, there seems to be plugin to integrate orgmode with xournalpp ( https://gitlab.com/vherrmann/org-xournalpp )
+- I use capture2text , made a small wrapper
+- Would it be possible to make a libre software which could detect handwritten notes as does the Boogie Board and run Emacs on it?
+ - other: people with short-term requirements and who don't care are using great OCR with cloud-based lock-in services. Therefore, there isn't much incentive to create FOSS.

## Questions and answers
- Q: How do you link the notes together so that you could search

Perhaps handwriting is best for non-Roman script. My mother tongue has a script that is not English.
- Q: Do you have any ideas about mindmapping and incorporating those notes into your process? I've used nebo and other tools, but wish I had a better way of extracting key words.
- A: I have used mindmapping which is hierarchical, in fact I use something called function maps. Just like org-roam and interacting relationships. All of this I've been drawing on my laptop screen. All of this helps me. I don't digitally convert it. It helps me and is a lot easier. When I need to add to it I can do so. I find that doing it on a device and retaining it without conversion is best. Converting does not help me at all. YOu can select it, with a lasso select. Those things can be done. I like it to be that way. Then I link it into org mode.
+- Q: Bala, sorry to join late to the party, you might have answer. Do you train your own OCR?
