Hate typing on keyboards? Miss fiddling with pens and pencils? Wish you could publish a handwritten note to Micro.Blog? Thanks to Shortcuts and Live Text on iOS 15, you can go from scribbles to blog post in seconds! 🖋

@sod Whaaaat? I love it! How do I do this?

@sod That’s awesome!

@sod nice!

@sod That’s extraordinary, but I’m a lot happier typing on a keyboard than proofreading text that has been OCRed. Sigh! Yet another totally cool feature that I can’t find any use for.

@cygnoir If you’re on iOS 15, you should be able to use the camera to capture any text as I do in the video. You won’t have the “Draft In Micro.blog” action on your share sheet (that’s a custom shortcut I made), but you are free to do anything else with the captured text. For example, you could copy it or share it with any iOS app that accepts text (like Micro.blog).

@artkavanagh I can’t find any use for it either. 😅 Just a curiosity, not meant to be taken too seriously.

@sod My handwriting might be too ornate for this to work reliably, but I’ll give it a go. Cheers!
