Snip & Sketch add a text box

Thank you for the recommendation, however a lot of users like me are not able to install new software due to the restrictions set by the corporate administrators. They will not allow the installation of additional software, and this is the case for many users.

yes sir please

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you want to add a text box to type a note on a snip using when using Snip & Sketch. However, I would like to inform that the feature to add a text box is currently not available.

I commend you for noticing this feature not being within Snip & Sketch. We would like to hear your thoughts and suggestions, as there may be other users with a similar requirement. Hence, I would suggest you to post a feedback in Microsoft Feedback Hub so that our developing team can review your suggestions and check if it can be included in the future updates.

Regards,

Dear Nikhar,

It's been a long time since this thread started. I would like to start by appreciating your effort providing a solution to this issue, however it does not work for me and I am pretty sure it does not work for a large amount of users. I do not have the Feedback Hub installed on my computer and I cannot install it because of the restrictions set by the administrators of my network. 

I do not believe is a good strategy to create a software that does not provide the minimum expected requirements, it's a waste of resources. It is consuming memory, hard drive space, and specially time.  I am pretty sure this frustration is also happening at Microsoft end because nobody will use the software after investing resources for its development, and it gives an even worse image to the company because there is no feedback, no clear resolution and the frustration is expanded because customers do not feel heard. The company would be in a much better position if the software had never been released.

So basically I am asking you to please post my comment in the Feedback Hub so it can be noticed by a higher person in hierarchy of the organization that can actually do something about this. Basic request is to include the functionality of adding text to the Microsoft "Snip & Sketch" tool.

Thank you for reading this comment.

Opening a 3rd program to add text or simple arrows defeats the purpose.  It also 'breaks' the concept of Clipboard History. The simple lines and highlighting are already there. These users here are just asking for simple label capabilities to increase their productivity ... if we wanted to open MSPaint - we should just go back to Full Screen Print and editing in Paint and the cropping and adding text ... and and and and  :-)

I believe our frustration is NOT that there are other (extra step) ways of doing this, but that Microsoft offers these spaces to make requests for features ... and they are not here interacting ... at all.
