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”

    You could, I am afraid to say, do what I have done - buy a Samsung tablet with an S-Pen - they really have got the handwriting right. It will write into Notes as manuscript and will convert as it should, or you can use handwriting as a form of keyboard so as you write the converted text appears. I need to use Notes because it is multi-platform etc (and a very good App) but with the Samsung it works out OK. I don't like the Surface pen at all.

    Try writing in the help dialog box. You will notice the handwriting converts to text as you write. This is how many of the note taking apps work.

    Just to be clear - if I want to write on a page in say OneNote, what I must do is call up the help dialog box, write there, not post that to Help and insytead copy and paste it to ONeNote?

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