Guide to converting/extracting ink stroke information from various windows-based note taking applications

Nebo

See the interactive-ink-examples-uwp subfolder/git repository. The format is proprietary and ink strokes are serialized into a binary file that's not easily readable. The workaround is to use the SDK and register a developper account to use the SDK to read .nebo files and export jiix files (see : reference) that are easily readable.

Note that ink stroke information is not easily accessible when copying a selection to the clipboard.

To access nebo files, you can either select notebook or individual pages and export them one by one to a .nebo file.

All files are also accessible at this location

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\VisionObjects.MyScriptNebo_1rjv6qr7skr92\LocalState\notes\.noUser\

Inkodo

Database approach (sql files) + stroke data saved using the Ink Serialized Format

Journal

Database approach (sql files) for each note file (.journal file saved in the Documents folder) where everything is readily readable EXCEPT ink stroke data (binary blobs). Pdfs are converted to images as well.

One interesting property though is that stroke information is available when copying a selection to the clipboard (there is an inkml file format that's avaiable then). But that only applies to strokes, the rest is not copied.

OneNote

Same remark as Journal's on inkml for strokes being available when copying a selection. This time images are also available and encoded in base64 for png under an html filetype in the clipboard (but ink strokes are sometimes also part of images, the html representation gives you relative placements ...) With OneMore, you can export to xml your files (and strokes are then listed under their binary form - ink serialized format- but all placements are not relative anymore.
