# reMarkable sync v1 — YouTube description ## Description I love analog notes, but for years my handwritten pages lived in a separate world from my digital ones. In this video I share my personal workflow for getting reMarkable notes into Obsidian — first as a PDF using a community plugin, and then as fully searchable, OCR'd text using AI. I walk through the reMarkable Sync plugin (settings, registering, and triggering a sync), then show two ways to handle OCR: my automated OpenClaw setup that watches a folder on a schedule, and a simpler approach using Claude Cowork that anyone can try. I also show how to turn the whole thing into a reusable /OCR skill so it's one command away. It's the workflow that finally made my E Ink tablets a real part of how I take notes. ## Timestamps 0:00 Intro: analog meets digital 0:39 My E Ink tablet collection 1:05 The problem: getting reMarkable notes into Obsidian 1:25 Installing the reMarkable Sync plugin 1:50 Configuring the plugin (register + sync settings) 2:44 Writing notes on the reMarkable 3:39 Triggering a sync into Obsidian 3:58 What OCR is and why I want it 5:07 Automating OCR with OpenClaw 6:49 OCR with Claude Cowork (Claude Desktop) 8:56 Turning the workflow into a reusable /OCR skill 9:46 Going further: scheduled tasks 9:57 Why this workflow works for me ## Resources mentioned - reMarkable Sync (Obsidian plugin by Tim Dommett): https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/remarkable-sync — source: https://github.com/TimDommett/Remarkable-Sync---Obsidian-Plugin - Obsidian: https://obsidian.md - reMarkable (Paper Pro / Paper Pro Move): https://remarkable.com - Claude Desktop app (Cowork): https://claude.ai/download - Spokenly (dictation app I used to talk to Claude): https://spokenly.app - OpenClaw — my automation setup: [link to your OpenClaw video / repo] - "How I use AI in my note-taking workflows" video: [link to that video] Other devices mentioned: Xteink X4, Amazon Kindle / Kindle Scribe, Kobo.
