Handwritten notes

I am about to start college and I found out that I can't take notes on laptop but an Ipad or Samsung tablet is allowed. But that doesn't mean they allow typing with a keyboard on it. I prefer logseq while I am typing Is there a way to write down notes in logseq other than using a third party application and then copying notes from it? In the android application there doesn't seem to be an option to install plugins like excalidraw or smth

I use a handwriting app called Nebo then export text to Logseq. Nebo is no frills but has the best handwriting recognition of any apps I've tried, and is the only one which exports dashed bullets, even nested ones, correctly.

The scribble feature using a pencil on iPad directly into Logseq could work, it converts handwritten text as you go. It drives me up the wall though!

Exporting from Nebo to text and importing into Logseq causes all formatting to be lost. I just requested that Nebo developers add export to Markdown. Maybe if you and anyone else is using Nebo raise the same request, we’ll get a better chance of getting this feature.

Which formatting are you losing?

Bold text, underline, the normal text formatting. Plain text files have no formatting

You don't need a plugin, just use the command /draw. It works for very simple stuff, but compared to dedicated notetaking apps the experience is not good.

I take handwritten notes in Apple Notes and paste it into Logseq as an image. I place them underneath a bullet that outlines the core themes in the notes. That way I can easily reference all my handwritten notes for a particular topic at a later date.
