Show HN: Read My Book Notes

I take notes using a Livescribe Echo pen as I am reading. It gets OCRd about 90% correctly. I fix the last 10% manually. The whole point of taking the notes is because I have a horrible memory :).

wow, I never heard of this Livescribe pen. It looks amazing, How well does it work? I love to scribble on paper but refrained from it as I want my notes in digital form and scanning or something like that would be too much hassle.

I always wanted to build something better for taking notes (many ideas from social, to comparing notes etc.), I think that could be very useful.

I wish at least the Kindle had an API to get my highlights out.

The notes are scanned as an image, so everything depends on your handwriting. The image looks exactly like what you typed on the notebook. The scanning/OCR process to extract the text out depends on your handwriting. My handwriting is pretty bad, but I get 80-90% accuracy in the OCR
