    Ok - I just replied to you with updates on why the Ink to Text pen is missing. It has to do with your Office install being a "semi-annual" update. The design for semi annual is to provide a slower rate of change for business and customers. Features are rolled out much slower.

    In the case of the Ink to Text Pen, it won't show up in a semi-annual update (similar to the install you have) until January 2025.

    Sorry about this information, but hope it helps bring clarity on why it this feature is not yet available!

    If I bump up the channel updates to monthly… this feature will be available?

    Yes! Bumping to monthly enterprise channel would work as we rolled out to MEC channel last year.

    thanks!

    I just adjusted some settings to allow o365 insider... and did a test on my computer. I don't have a pen or touchscreen, i was just seeing how to enable this. If I do this for our user with the pen\touchscreen is this going to get us to where we need to be?
