A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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.

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

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.

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?

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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