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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I have just figured out how to take notes on the ipad and convert the ink to text on the laptop computer after the information syncs to the laptop. You have to select to treat the drawing as handwriting and then convert ink to text. Not ideal, but it is a decent workaround.
Another user disappointed in the fact that Onenote for iPad does not have ink to text. Surely by now this would be a simple addition and would make Onenote a complete note taking app across all platforms. Very frustrating as I want to use Onenote across all of devices and now realise that I cant.
Same issue here but I guess I will switch to apple notes app. To bad MS is not able to fix this in YEARS AND YEARS of complaint.
MS team are you even reading the question / ask? All the folks here know that it is available on Win 10, we don't need you to tell us that.
The ask is to have the Ink to Text feature enabled for iPad OS in OnNote. Your copy paste responses without addressing the issue are of no use to anyone and quite frankly demeaning to your Office 365 customers who are requesting this feature be enabled for iPad.
Microsoft, this has been a concern for years and it is high time Office 365 team addresses this. The ink to Text feature in One Note "for iPad" was needed years ago. How long does it take for your smart engineers to enable this?
Why would an existing feature in the package be limited for iPad?
PLEASE ADD THE FEATURE. 100s of thousands of paying users of Office 365 mobile will be happy.
