My current project right now with my thermal printer is responding to emails via typewriter.

Email comes in -> prints to receipt printer -> I type up the response via electronic typewriter -> hit scan on my scanner -> sent a response -> confirmation printed on receipt printer.

PoC worked well.

Right now I am building out how to correlate what I scan to who it is supposed to respond to. So I working on some GPT magic to do that. Also since I am using OCR I don't have a way verify that the final content of the email after OCR.

So still a work in progress and not something I am using day to day.

More modern (90s) electronic typewriters with a screen (I guess you would call them word processors) could be a better way... But I like the click clack of each key stroke.

That is delightfully archaic.

May I ask what you are using to interface with your email client and what scanner do you use?
