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 too want this functionality. Microsoft: Is really shameful that you do this to paying users of your Office suite.

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

    Fun fact: They have the ink to text feature in the Word app on iPad.

    I periodically revisit using OneNote. However, because Ink to Text is not a feature, I readily give up and discard it as a note taking tool. There are better options that support Ink. I wish MS would prioritize this.

    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?
