- Boox notes to Twosapp
- This is a short intro on how to connect a Boox note Air 3 to twosapp or other note app with an API.
- Onedrive
- I have onedrive to store all my files so i used that to sync my Boox export to my onedrive. on the Boox tablet you have two storage locations. One location for the notes that you work with and one location for the Exports.
I use exports because this way it is easy to just transcribe the notes or part of the notes file that are changed and new. Just start the export, select the pages you want to export and select the bitmap pdf and create a filename.
- OneSync settings
- For syncing i use OneSync for Android, it is free if you just sync one folder.
- n8n
- For the automation process i use n8n. n8n is a really easy free (self host) tool just like zapier. I quess you could to the same with zapier or other automation tool.
- Website: https://n8n.io/
- I host my n8n instance on fly.io
- pretty basic setup if you follow these steps:

- Flow view (code at the end)
- Cloudconvert
- OpenAI, Claud.ai etc can only "read" images so i need the pdf tranformed to png files. So you need a cloudconvert account, up to 25 conversions per day are free.

- Claude.ai
- For the prompt/image reading i use claude.ai from Anthrophic. Almost the same api payload as OpenAI but the new Sonnet 3.5 gives a better result at this point.
