Hello i have recently started using onenote to take notes for my classes, however i enjoy using handwriting with my apple pencil and having it converted into text like i have with other apps. There is no “ink to text”, only a “ink to shape”

    I'm writing this response using an Apple Pencil directly in to the text field in Safari but OneNote can't do this. Can anyone at Microsoft please add ink to text?

    Yes, which begs the question why has Microsoft not added the Scribble to text feature in OneNote? It's not a technical or platform issue as it works on a Windows OS device and it works with other iPadOS apps, like Apple Notes, Evernote, and even Microsoft Office365. It really has no logical hurdle other than effort and commitment.

    I have been waiting for this feature for many years. Why is it taking so long?

    Pff, ok, that's one way of working but far from ideal. I will stay with Nebo for now. Thanks
