What this means is that you can now search OneNote and it will search the text found within images too.Īccording to Microsoft, OneNote recognizes printed text in many languages, and support for more languages is coming. In addition to adding handwriting support to OneNote for iPad, Microsoft also updated OneNote on PCs (desktop and Modern), Mac, web (OneNote Online) and on all mobile platforms to support optical character recognition (OCR) capabilities. Here’s a video showing off handwriting and drawing in OneNote for iPad. And it supports palm rejection technology, so you can indeed write naturally, whether you’re right- or left-handed.
(OneNote for Android picked up handwriting capabilities months ago, in August 2014, but some Android devices support active digitizers, so the experience is much better.)īut handwriting and drawing with a stylus in OneNote still a fairly transformative experience, and one that is more natural than typing on a tablet like the iPad. On the iPad, all you can do is use a capacitive stylus to perform basic handwriting and drawing. That capability is only available on Windows, where the innate capabilities of Microsoft’s top platform provide not just the ability to scribble in your own handwriting, but also important functionality-like pressure sensitivity, erasers, and more-that makes handwriting more natural.
To be very clear: Handwriting in OneNote for iPad is not the full digital ink experience. But don’t worry if you’re not using OneNote on an iPad: Microsoft is also adding OCR capabilities to OneNote on all platforms: Windows, Mac, the web, and on mobile. Microsoft today announced one of the most eagerly-anticipated features for OneNote for iPad: The ability to handwrite notes and draw with a stylus in the popular mobile app.
