obsidian-ocr VS obsidian-local-rest-api

There is an OCR plugin for Obsidian that supports search (haven’t used it but now I’m curious): https://github.com/MohrJonas/obsidian-ocr However I believe Bear 2.0 is going to have a pretty sweet OCR tool built-in, so if you can hang on until it’s released or nab the beta that could be worth trying out.

-OCR: this is what i've found so far but haven't tested: https://github.com/MohrJonas/obsidian-ocr I've been waiting for a good ocr plugin,

Not quite there yet, but there is an Obsidian plugin developing similar functionality: https://github.com/MohrJonas/obsidian-ocr

Thanks, I didn't know they had a student plan. I guess I'll use that for now, I opened an issue on this plugin and the dev said it's something they're willing to add in the future.

Link: https://github.com/MohrJonas/obsidian-ocr/releases/tag/1.1.0

Alright version 0.0.1 is available: https://github.com/MohrJonas/obsidian-ocr

To solve this obsidian-sync.nvim keeps track of the active buffer in neovim and syncs it in obsidian using the Local REST API plugin for obsidian.

Not sure this will fit your needs, but looks quite capable for automation: https://github.com/coddingtonbear/obsidian-local-rest-api

You can use the REST API plugin to create or even append a note without ever opening the app by using ios shortcuts that makes a call to the REST API.
