Trying to get printed text into Obsidian as Markdown
What’s the best method to get media from books into Obsidian as text/markdown?
I already have a Fujitsu ScanSnap which is great for individual sheets, but I’m looking for a method to enter a highlighted paragraph in a book for instance.
Use the text recognition that’s built into your phone’s camera, if available. On iOS the feature is called Live Text; there are various ways to use it but in this case I’d tap in the note and then in the iOS context menu bar thing tap this symbol:
That’ll open a camera view to capture the text. (For more details see Apple’s iOS help page.)
