A half-way approach I've been using for a little while is simply to take pictures of my notebook pages, which are usually work to-do lists and contacts etc, but also sometimes design notes for a program or idea. Some of them I have put on their own canvas pages in Obsidian and overlaid with boxes and arrows and text. This at least accomplishes storage in a common location, and someday when there is an Obsidian handwriting recognition plug-in, I'll be ready to go!

This is something I want to explore in other things I write. Being able to transcribe is definitely a big hurdle at the moment.

Exactly. I'm one of those who typically hand writes, and then later converts to digital if it's worth keeping. Typing stuff up is a real drag, and I don't think any OCR is even close to being good enough for it.

I often fantasize about finding cheap labor in another country to type it up for me.
