Diagrams
Accessible Notes supports TikZ diagrams — a drawing language from the LaTeX world that lets you create precise, publication-quality vector graphics by writing code. Whether you're working with flowcharts, circuit diagrams, geometric figures, or any other visual, TikZ gives you full control over the result.
During transcription, diagrams found in your document are automatically extracted and converted to TikZ code. You can also create diagrams from scratch at any time. Each diagram lives in your note as a named item with its own source code, alt text, and a rendered preview that updates as you type.
Diagrams are embedded in your note body using a simple placeholder like {{diagram:my_diagram}}. When you export, each placeholder is replaced with the actual rendered image — as native TikZ in PDF, inline SVG in HTML and Markdown, and an embedded image with alt text in Word. This means your diagrams always look sharp at any size and are fully accessible in every format.
The sections below walk you through the TikZ drawing language, how to name and describe your diagrams, and how to add, edit, and manage them in the app.
