He also shared a lot more about the future of OneNote. Microsoft says OCR support will be expanded to images from your older notes “in the coming months.” Handwriting is still not available on smartphones, but that feature is also on its way, Megiddo told us. Microsoft claims this works “with any stylus whether you’re left-handed or right-handed.” What’s next If you’re using a stylus, you don’t have to worry about resting your hand on the screen: OneNote for iPad detects your palm and ignores it (to set this up, tap Palm Rejection on the Ribbon, and choose the image that most closely resembles how you normally hold a pen). You can use two fingers to scroll the page, pinch to zoom in on small details, and zoom out to get the big picture. It also now offers an endless digital canvas: You’ll never run out of space - it automatically expands pages as you type or write. The new app offers four classic pen colors (black, blue, green, and red) front-and-center, but you can tap the color wheel to display 20 more. OneNote for iPad reflects the company’s observations from studying and understanding how people use digital pens. Make sure you install the right app on your device for optimal operation. You can take down a note or scribble down a thought on any Android device, just as long as it has support for a stylus. Microsoft says it has learned a lot since 2003, when it added inking to OneNote for Windows. Do you need an Android tablet to jot down notes using a stylus Absolutely not. From there, write, sketch, or doodle as you please. To pen notes or draw something in the iPad app, tap the new Draw tab on the Ribbon, and select a pen, marker, or highlighter. With the iPad gaining the feature, all tablets that can run OneNote (or as Microsoft puts it, “all of the most popular tablets”) can now handle digital ink. Handwriting support for iPadīefore today, OneNote handwriting and drawing was available on Windows PCs, Windows tablets, and Android tablets. If yours isn’t there, don’t worry Microsoft is “continuously adding support for more” languages. OneNote currently recognizes printed text in 21 languages: Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. The service will automatically process the images when you upload them all you have to do is wait and they will show up in search results after “about five minutes.” To try the feature out, just add a picture that contains text to any OneNote notebook saved on OneDrive.
