I can draw on a snip, but it is hard to write a note with a mouse.

Can I add a text box and  type a note on a snip?

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,

Nikhar Khare

    Considering that "SnipIt" is your biggest competitor with this type of program, and that they do have that capability, I'm kind of surprised that "Snip & Sketch" doesn't have the option to add any kind of text.  Unless there's a patent that's keeping you from adding it then "let's get it done".

    I am in visual effects at a rather high level and this is so fk close to what we need.

    This would be our #1 tool for revisions, but now it's photoshop which is a HUGE beast to do what snip and sketch can do, but without text, we have to not use this at all. Shame

    You have a near perfect review system for VFX to client/vendor notes if i can annotate correctly.  At least use the handwriting to text options, but somethinig to annotate.  

    You could also have option to open annotation in word from the menu.  you would at least give us an instant path to word as stopgap

    to annotate a text box would be most handy; much better than writing with a mouse
