I had many more questions but that post disappeared...
Disability
Is there a insider programme for disability users?
Do you offer a discount program for onenote/cloud/other products, disability, out of work, so if people can't pay their office 365 subscription/standalone, they just don't lose their notes?
Has the input devices for onenote changed to reflect the various input devices disabled people use?
Webscrapper
Make it easier to save whole webpages to relevant notebooks?
Add on extensions for all major browers to save to onenote?
Has this changed?
Pages
Can you fix the autoscroll to only A3/A4 size so you can break up your work into something more suitable for printing?
i.e. you can just keep writing on a page but can you add a tool to split this into lots of new pages?
Different grouping system for these pages
OCR/speech to text
How has this changed, will you be adding anything from Nuance, i.e. dragon text to speech? Nuance is being bought by Microsoft
Will you add offline? cortana/dragon into onenote to convert audio to text?
Will you convert videos/audio into 'slides' with transcriptions?
Can you import videos/audio and this be converted into computer text, i.e. lecture dictaphone or messy video from teacher?
Are you release a new video editor, I don't think Microsoft has one??
Do you clean the audio from background noise?
Can you export the video/audio out of onenote
Can you export to flashcards?
Can you use onenote via camera to 'scan in business cards' given the issues around covid? You can use office lens and then save it to the onenote app, would this sync with contacts?
Will this integrate with Microsoft Garage systems, like https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/garage/profiles/group-transcribe/
Referencing
LIke you have in word add way to add sources, and track this?
Handwriting OCR
Can you clean up handwriting/diagrams to make it easier to export?
Can you train the OCR, such as to better correct handwriting to text, it's not 100% accurate, so can you stagger pages, input handwritten pages of text
Export: page 1 handwritten, page 1b computer text and pictures/drawings, page 2 handwritten notes, page 2 computer text and pictures/drawings
Can you input handwriting from other handwriting apps from mobiles or tablets as surface pros are very expensive?
Do you 'clean' drawings, I think samsung did something like this, i.e. draw a rough box, onenote draws nice box? This to make it possible to draw a mindmap then get it converted to neat, for export, sharing with class?
Export
Can you export to open formats? How do I backup the files
Can you export to common other providers?
Can you export to mindmap formats?
Evernote features vs onenote vs other competitors?
Anything on this?
Features
Can you work with onenote 2007? Can you bulk export the onenote 2021 to work with older onenote version (schools?) sharing with friends?
What will be the differences between onenote apps on ios and andriod and onenote 2021 on desktops?
What features have been lost since 2010, you made some changes in 2016 to split apps and desktop one?
Comments (this isn't a forum, I also can't branch my replies into a thread)
mojae Agreed, one universal app/desktop/ios/andriod should make things better. My point is there are lots of small changes that need to happen, mainly encryption, other cloud providers, export to open format/backups, free reader of onenote files (people without a paid copy) for my major ones
I just need a good note making system, as my post was lost?? I don't hold out hope that buying onenote 2021 will help me...
