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”

    Same here….totally frustrated. I have this beautiful iPad for note taking and I thought MS was on the same level with keeping up with them…but I guess not. Guess I’ll have to move everything back over to apple products and get apple notes, etc. Another disappointing product from microsoft…..can’t even add the ink to handwriting feature for apple users….sheesh!

    Another user here extremely frustrated by the non-response and lack of help from MS. Would LOVE to see this feature added as it has been a lingering issue for way too long!

    MS, we are still waiting! Are you taking your users seriously or not?!

    Untill you do, I will stick to the ios Notes app.

    Come on Microsoft. Give us Ink-to-Text in Word IOS for iPad Pro. This is the number one complaint of my students - they use Apple pencil to make notes but then have to use a “work around” to get their handwritting converted into text in Word. Fair enough, I suppose your are protecting your Surface Pro products, but you also stand to create considerable value for your customers if you do this. I cannot accept that it is beyond the technical capabilities of Microsoft - or should I?

    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.
