Handwriting to Text in OneNote

There’s no more need for a workaround. Today you can convert your handwritten notes on the iPad to text, thanks to a new update to OneNote. (OneNote is continually updating this feature.)

If you use iPad and OneNote for digital planning, you now have the ability to convert your handwritten notes to text.

  • Go to your search bar and type in “Scribble.” This will take you to Settings without much searching.
  • Turn on Scribble.
  • You’ll see a pencil with an “A” over the top of it in your menu in OneNote
  • Now, when you write with that pencil it will convert to type.

Apple introduced Scribble, a handwriting-to-type technology, with iPadOS 14. OneNote on iPad now supports Scribble and it works within OneNote. This is the first time this feature has been out of BETA.
