I use onenote if I'm at a talk, and then will copy the notes into Anki's incremental reading extension to get them into anki.

If it's reading material, I copy them right into the incremental reading extension. I have a special note type called deep processing that I try to use every so often to make sure I'm not just doing a superficial reading to create anki cards.

Which extension do you use? The last time I looked there were no good solutions for IR with Anki.

I used a version previously only found on github, but which apparently a couple of days ago was updated on the official anki extension page:

It's still not perfect, and I would love if all the bugs were worked out, but I've been using it for a few months and the benefit of being able to remember everything important that I read more than outweighs the cost of dealing with occasional bug.
