Are there any programs to take handwritten material and import it into programs like Memos or Trilium? (github.com)

I found some that do the opposite, take digital writing and format into a printed list.

If the apps don’t support them, then no.

Yeah they don’t but is there some program that is good at OCR/HCR then I can script it into these?

If the application supports an API of some sort, you could run OCR, then send them over API as converted input.

So you say “programs like Trilium”. Have you looked at Joplin?

Joplin comes with OCR albeit for search only. I myself have not tried it yet, but Joplin itself is a great note app.

Also Joplin seems to have an in development plugin for extracting text via OCR.

Maybe you can then export it to Trilium, if this a one time thing.

I don’t know if you’re into this, but this would be a perfect project to learn a new language or framework.

Via the pine64 blog update about their e-ink tablet TIL about inkput (using OnlineHTR) which appears to be a step in the right direction.

That’s a cool device! Never heard of it before. Def not 100% what I imagined but this is still a cool find. Thank you for thinking of me a week later :)
