⚡ Use this Tuesday: snap your notes, get a clean PDF
Turn a photo of notes into a PDF
Open gemini.google.com. (Google says PDFs work in the phone app too.)
Upload a photo of a handwritten page.
Paste this:
Turn these handwritten notes into a clean one-page PDF. Keep my words, fix spelling, and add clear headings.Lokesh used a sample page with a grocery list, meeting notes and a coffee stain. It took 3 minutes. Gemini read every word, fixed the spelling, and kept the crossed-out item crossed out.
Fix one line, keep the rest
Google says you can select part of the file and ask for a change. On the PDF, Lokesh couldn't select the text. So Lokesh asked in the chat instead:
Move "[your line]" to a new section called "[section name]". Keep everything else the same.Gemini moved that one line and left every other word alone. "Keep everything else the same" is the part to copy every time.
Spreadsheets: the May problem is fixed, the wait is long
Lokesh's sheet had a real formula behind the total, and every number checked out. But it took 15 minutes, then more than 10 minutes on a second try. Claude made the same sheet in under 30 seconds.
Gemini also guessed missing years without saying so. If you try a sheet, start it, go make tea, and check every date when you come back.
