Hey! I still like to write by hand when learning difficult concepts. I had a bunch of notes that I made in my last semester at uni which I wanted to get into obsidian. I tried a bunch of "pdf to md" converters and OCRs but they where not great on handwritten text.

So, I created a CLI that helps me batch convert my scanned notes to markdown. It supports latex for math as well. You can either use the Gemini or Claude or Ollama to carry out the conversion. It is open source and free to use, you will need your own api key though.
