How to get your handwritten notes into AI

What if you have a lot of handwritten notes and you want to finally, you know, benefit from AI, and you'd love for AI to be able to just ingest all of your handwritten notes and help organize and everything? Like, for example, some people have drafted a, a book or notes for a book, and it's like, well, AI can help me organize all that. Yes, it can. So First of all, if anybody has any solution here, please go ahead and comment below. There— I'm sure there are apps or other things that I've never heard of or never used because everything I do is digital, so I don't have any handwritten notes. But for those who do, here's what I would do if I were you, just off the top of my head, okay? Depending on when you're watching this, if you're watching this in 2030 or later, I would just say, wait, just get your home robot to page through and take a screen capture of every single page. What's the problem? Okay, so 2030, we'll all have home robots that can, can do all the manual work for us. But before then, before we have home robots, for those who want to spend a little bit of money, I'm sure you can mail your notebooks to some kind of service that will diligently scan all the pages for you in organized manner and have it perfectly transcribed. And I, I just want to say Right now, even I'm recording this in, in 2026. AI, the top AIs, I'll just say at least Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok, at least those 4, I would just say use one of those. Have such advanced image recognition techniques that if you haven't yet tried, even if you have terrible handwriting, like I do, take it— and I tried this and I was shocked— take, do terrible handwriting, take a picture. Now don't purposely try to screw it up, right? But just do normal handwriting for, for you. Take a picture, feed it into whatever AI you use, and be shocked that it can transcribe perfectly. Now, no matter if you do cursive, no matter if you do a different language, no matter if it's a different language, If it's a common language, obviously it's not— you're doing it— if you're an indigenous tribe language, maybe it won't do it as well. But all the major languages of the world, the handwriting reading is perfect. Perfect. It could read doctor's prescriptions. Okay. Okay. So, so I said robot, we don't have that yet. You know, scanning service, those exist. So you can look up or ask your AI for a reputable scanning service. Third, if you want to do it manually yourself, if I wanted to save money, here's what I would do. I would basically— oh, you can also hire your grandchildren, you know, hire your neighbor's nephew or whatever to do the scanning for you. But it's as simple as this. Do it yourself. Here's what I would do. Open up the notebook, have your phone in hand, have your camera in hand. Okay, have your camera app open. Open your profile. Page 1, snap. Turn the page, snap. Page 3, snap. Turn the page. Page 4, snap. Page 5, snap. Page 6, snap. Do you see how fast I'm going? Mm-hmm. Within 10 minutes, you've done dozens of pages, and they're all photos in your phone, right? Mm-hmm. Right? Okay. Photos in your phone. And it doesn't have to— no, don't worry about making sure it's perfectly, you know, a lot. No. Again, AI is smart enough where even if it's really far away and small, it can do it. It knows how to zoom in by itself. It knows how to read it. It's perfect, right? So don't worry about alignment. You just be comfortable and just make sure the entire page is shown on your screen. I mean, obviously we need to do that. Make sure nothing's cut off, but don't worry about alignment. Just do normal. Just be natural. And maybe put your notebook on some kind of stand so it's easy to flip, right? Snap, flip, snap, flip, snap, flip, snap, flip, snap. You see how fast I'm going? I mean, not that fast. Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap. Do you see how fast I'm going? Okay. And then now that it's on your phone, the next step is to give AI those photos, and the easiest way is to Like, I use Google Photos. I have the Google Photo app installed on my phone. That's free for everybody. So install Google Photos app, for example, but there's lots of them out there. But Google Photos app installed on your phone, even after you've taken all the pictures, and then you install Google Photos app, you then ask Google Photos app to back it— back everything up to Google, your Google Photos account. And now you can go to Google Photos account And they're all there. They're all there, like, together today, right? Reverse chronological order. It doesn't matter because AI can— smart enough to figure that out. And then you simply— if you've set up your AI the way that I recommend— if you don't, please take my AI set of course. Honestly, it's the most important course I've ever taught. But if you have set up your AI to be able to look at your— to use your browser, then just say, hey, open up my Google Photos, see that I've scanned, uh, a bunch of my notebook, it's in reverse chronological order, and go ahead and transcribe it all and put it into a document transcribed. Step 1. So then it's now in the document transcribed in correct order. Now you could do with it whatever you want. You can have AI Analyze it, reorder things, take things from it, whatever you want to do. So I hope that makes sense, and let me know if you have any questions. And for those of you who like to draw in your handwriting notes, the AI prompt should include the following to say, not only should you transcribe it, please note— notice that I draw sometimes as part of my writing, so please try to sense the drawings and output them as drawings to the best of your ability as well. Okay. And yeah, and I think you could say that and the AI will understand. And you could also add at the end of it, please ask me any questions about the process before you begin, and then submit the prompt, and it'll make sure it clarifies everything before you get going.
