The trick here is to inject events as if they came from the user. The virtual-keyboard works really reliably, you can see it over at https://github.com/awwaiid/ghostwriter/blob/main/src/keyboar... . It is the equivalent of plugging in the reMarkable type-folio. Main limitation is that the reMarkable drawing app is very very minimal, it doesn't let you place text in arbitrary screen locations and is instead sort of a weird overlay text area spanning the entire screen.

Project author here -- happy to elaborate on anything; a continuous WIP project. The biggest insight has been limitations of vision models in spacial awareness -- see https://github.com/awwaiid/ghostwriter/blob/main/evaluation_... for some sketchy examples of my rudimentary eval. Next top things: * Continue to build/extract into a yaml+shellscript agentic framework/tool * Continue exploring pre-segmenting or other methods of spacial awareness * Write a reSvg backend that sends actual pen-strokes instead of lots of dots
