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”
A family of Microsoft products that enable users to capture, organize, and reuse notes electronically.

I can't even BELIEVE that this feature is not available on an IPad. Looks like I'll be using Apple apps for notetaking and then copying to Notes which I am forced to use for work. Shameful, Microsoft!!
I just downloaded the Word and Excel version for IPAD and I found that the ink-to-text feature is working only when using Word or Excel from the cloud (open in browser). If you open the Word or Excel app the ink-to-text feature is not available :( Not sure if this is the "normal" behavior or I am missing something .......
Any help woul be appreciated. !!
This is literally the entire reason I got an iPad. To take notes without typing in one note. Disappointing!
Yes, and I am still waiting for it.
