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,

    Microsoft, 

    My boy, you mean to tell me I got to use Snip & Sketch to draw on my screenshots and then I got to take that image into Microsoft Paint to put some text on the screenshot?

    Come on my boy! Get real.

    Agreed the text function is necessary. Whatever the strategy is for not incorporating the use of text is ridiculous. If it was an oversight, it would be even more ridiculous. Since this feature is not incorporated, it forces me to use a Microsoft competitor such as Bluebeam or an Adobe Suite product. Microsoft Word or Paint works, but they are the most non-user-friendly software when dealing with images and text. If you are waiting for 'enough' people to complain, your regular users would have already moved on to a different program. 

    This thread has been open since June 2019 and no text function exists as of February 2020 - very disappointing.
