exporting handwritten dataset as text, export it and use it as a csv
Yeah, I’m pretty sure the Remarkable OCR is not up to these kinds of tasks unfortunately. If you know some coding you could write something that’d likely work well in Python using for ex. this for receiving the mail attachment and this for converting the PDF to CSV. This is in case you’d write your data as a table on the Remarkable, which I guess is preferable to writing something like (0.5, 8.4, -0.3). If you’d rather do it that way, there are other more suitable OCR tools like this one. The checkbox use-case in the comment above would also be possible by modifying this approach. DM if you’d like to discuss further work.

Show HN: I made a tool to convert images of tables to CSV
I've had success using camelot-py (https://camelot-py.readthedocs.io) to extract tabular data from PDFs (for images, I use imagemagick to convert those to PDF). If your table has borders the default method (lattice) works quite well. For non-bordered table there is the option to use 'stream' option but usually requires bit more preprocessing to get usable results.
Looks like it's a bit in-progress: https://github.com/camelot-dev/camelot/pull/209
"Update docs" isn't checked, and that's what I was going on.

Creating a python class for organizing courses I took in my education
Technically this information is on my transcript, so I will be trying to use pdfminer to extract that data if there is a way to use a class you recommend when using that code https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six

I'm having trouble with the PDFminer library in Python. Whenever I try to call a certain function it says that something is missing in the library itself
The Github page says it's been superseded by pdfminer.six. Perhaps try that instead.
What are some alternatives?
