OneNote and Apple Scribble

Brass Contributor

I’m running the public beta version of iPadOS 14. Apple now has a feature called scribble, which let’s the user take the Apple Pencil and hardwrite text into any text field and Apple converts it to typed text. This doesn’t work in the current version of OneNote. I suspect that is because of the way that OneNote executes its free form text boxes.

 

Will OneNote eventually support this feature. I’d REALLY like to take notes in OneNote with my pencil and using handwriting, but having the Apple functionality turn it into text. FYI, it already works on Evernote.

It sure would be nice!!! (hint hint)

@SCSissel l am joining the group of frustrated people who desperately want to use Scribble with one Note - it is crazy that this discussion has been ongoing for two years and they still haven't sorted it!

I guess the solution would be for everyone to ditch OneNote. And hopefully one day, the whole Microsoft Office ecosystem, which is stuck in time, and whose team has demonstrated no interest in bringing new features and improvements.
