Slack now integrates with reMarkable’s e-paper tablets

You can now send your reMarkable notes and doodles straight to Slack. The companies have announced Slack integration for reMarkable tablets, letting you send whatever you want from the e-paper device straight to your workplace chat in one tap. “…we realized that when there’s friction between thinking and producing, you risk losing time, ideas, and momentum,” reMarkable Chief Technology Officer Nico Cormie said in a statement. By linking the tablet with Slack, there’s less friction between coming up with ideas and sharing them with your team, so you can more easily collaborate with others. 

reMarkable is an e-paper tablet designed to work with a stylus. Simply put, it’s a digital notebook, where you can sketch, write notes, draw, annotate documents and even read ebooks if you want to treat it more as an eReader like the Kindle. If you want to share your notes with Slack, you simply have to go to the menu on the left-hand corner of your device and choose “Send to Slack.” When you do, it opens into a canvas in Slack containing an image of your file with AI-generated notes. If there’s handwritten text in the image, the canvas will also include your notes that AI has converted to editable text. 

To be able to use the Slack integration, you’ll need to be subscribed to reMarkable Connect, which gives you access to unlimited cloud storage and sync for $3 a month. You’ll also need to have a Slack account with a Pro, Business+ or an Enterprise Grid plan.
