# Patreon post — reMarkable sync video Hey friends 💛 New video coming your way, and this one's close to my heart. It's about the workflow I've quietly been refining for a while now: getting my handwritten reMarkable notes into Obsidian — first as a PDF, then as fully searchable, OCR'd text using AI. You all know I'm a chronic note-taker, but here's the thing I don't say out loud much: digital notes have only ever been a *small* part of how I actually think. I love paper. I've collected an embarrassing number of E Ink tablets trying to bridge the two worlds (the Kindle, the Kobo, an Xteink X4, two reMarkables...), and this is the first setup that's actually made the analog side feel like a real, permanent part of my second brain instead of a pile of files I never look at again. A little behind-the-scenes you won't get from the video itself: the doodles I demo were actually drawn *by my partner* while he was explaining neural nets to me — so when the AI OCR'd a page that barely had any words on it and correctly described neurons and perceptrons, I was genuinely a little stunned. That moment of "wait, it just *knew*" is a big part of why I wanted to make this. I show two paths in the video: my automated OpenClaw setup that watches a folder and OCRs anything I drop in (more complex — I won't pretend it's for everyone), and a much gentler Claude Cowork approach that any of you could try this weekend. I also turn the whole thing into a one-command /OCR skill at the end. As always, you're seeing this before it goes public. Thank you for giving me the space to make the niche, nerdy stuff I actually care about — it means more than you know. Would genuinely love to hear how you bridge your own analog and digital notes. — Nicole
