How to handwrite on Obsidian with an iPad

[snapdragon]

I’m new to Obsidian, I want to know that how can I handwrite in Obsidian with my apple pencil.

Thank You

Obsidian is not a handwriting oriented app, but there are your options.

If you want to hand write and have it converted to text, you can just use your pencil in Obsidian’s editor (thanks to iPadOS’s “Scribble” feature).

If you want it to remain as handwriting, you’ll need a plugin. Options include Excalidraw, Ink (I think?), and maybe tkdraw? Search “handwrit” or “draw” in the plugin gallery to find all the options. I believe these options all leave your handwritten text unsearchable (tho I haven’t used any of them to write notes).

Another option is to write in another app and export images or PDFs to Obsidian (which, again, won’t have searchable text).

I think this is a better option, thanks for helping , can we not directly integrate other hand writing app with Obsidian?

I use this and it’s unbelievably good even for “non-English” languages!

What do you envision?

something like we write in handwriting app and then written notes will be directly shown up in Obsidian, I think it is not possible, but thanks for your answer, I’ll consider to write in other app and import my notes in Obsidian.

Thank You once again
