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”

    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....

    Any updates here? I just bought an iPad for this exact function only to find out it isn’t available.

    Looks like I’m going to be sticking to Notability. Does just about the same stuff but has handwriting to text. Oh well and way to miss out on my business. Apple Pages, Keynote, and Numbers will suffice for my business suite and Notability will handle my note taking. Saved me some coin at this point. Thanks for shunning the Apple community.

    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?
