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.

Any updates here? I just bought an iPad for this exact function only to find out it isn’t available.
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.
Seriously this is ridiculous. How long do have to wait?
Works only in OneNote for Windows, not in OneNote for MacOS :-(((
This looks like a deliberate choice of MS to provide fewer functionalities on MacOS/iOS, to press users to switch to Windows....
