OneNote Ipad Supports Apple Scribble with iOS 16 | Convert Handwriting to Text

#iPad #onenote #onenotetips #applepencil
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.
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.

i never thought about taking a pic of handwritten notes and converting to text on onenote for iPad LoL. That was more interesting to me than the scribble feature which I already knew about. It was actually released earlier but MS pulled it and finally rereleasede it You sir just gained a subscriber

[@gnostie]

I find that Notability does a much better job of converting handwriting to text than any of the other options I've used. This is most relevant to those of use who use scientific terms and unusual words. Notability reproduces what it 'sees', whereas Scribble tries to mess with it and approximate with trivial words which then have to be corrected with the keyboard. I haven't yet compared Notability with Rocketbook when it comes to handwriting to text conversion but will shortly.

[@Oldnose63]

But also not for all languages. So there’s still a lot to be developed.

[@dutchcanuck7550]

To those who don't see the Scribble option: At minimum, you need a 6th gen iPad, 5th gen iPad Mini, 1st gen iPad Pro or 3rd gen iPad Air for this to work. iOS 16 is not enough. Basically, any non-Pro iPad introduced in 2018 or later supports Apple Pencil, and therefore Scribble. From 2015 to 2018 the tech was reserved for iPad Pro.

[@bodendorfer]

This is really good information. Thanks for sharing.

[@user-kc1lh1gh5y]

I have iOS 16.7.2 and i do see the option but their is no scribble option and when i click on it and start to write nothing happens you dont see any lines

[@mike_qbik]

I still wish there is a combination of digital iCal integration with your hand writen events. Re-writing my digital entries to the “digital” version by hand writing is just double the work. I rather use paper for this but once there is a way, that my handwriten notes and events gets digitize and I could see those in my iCal and digital entries from my computer visible in journal like calendar and on all my devices, well than we are talking😊 Is there a way to do it in 2023? or are we still relying on pdf layouts and revriting evrything as there is still no integration between iCal and anything like GoodNotes, Colanites, Notability, One note etc? Handwritng to digital is ok, but can this be synced with the iCal?

[@HowardKline]

Next big leap would be to sync your planner with Outlook calendar.

[@bodendorfer]

When AI gets there, that will be awesome.

[@rioblast]

Got the A pen in onenote but no scribble in settings. Maybe only works for english?

[@Oldnose63]

Yes unfortunately even in iOS 17 the languages that can be used for scribble are limited. So all those happy and positive reactions on scribble and likewise features are useless for half the world’s iPad owners. It’s the main reason why I bought an iPad and Apple Pencil. No handwrite recognition…. Please Apple

[@311DaveR]

Great video - thanks for sharing!

[@bodendorfer]

Thanks for watching!

[@Lightwriter1]

I have iPadOS 16.3.1 and it doesn't work. I don't get the "scribble" option in my iPencil menu and in the OneNote app it doesn't "translate" writing to computer letters. What is going on you think?

[@ebutouy760]

Am I correct that this feature is only accessible if one is paying for the OneNote all/program? TIA

[@bodendorfer]

This feature is part of iOS, and you can use it with many of the apps. Go into settings to turn it on.

[@ebutouy760]

@@bodendorfer Thank you. I went into Settings, turned on Scribble, went back to OneNote but was told I needed to be a subscriber in order to use the handwriting-to-text feature, so I was wondering I'd they offer it any other way.

[@Carlos72797]

👍I've been wishing for this. I have poor handwriting and this does very well. My next wish: scribble in multiple text colors.

[@bodendorfer]

You know after you are finished you can lasso the type and change the color.

[@prashantkhopkar]

This was great! I was looking exactly for this as I wanted to use my Apple Pencil.Also how did you the planner as one of your Pages?

[@bodendorfer]

Gald, you love it. The planner is a notebook you can. Download into onenote. Here is the link. brandenbodendorfer.com/onenote-digital-planners-shop/

[@user-qt5nw8yl6v]

hi i wanted to use the Scribble option to write german words and it translate to english, please help..

[@ros.b98]

I can’t find the scribble mode on settings and the A pen is not writing

[@sliceshackles]

Is there any applications for example to import pdfs, write notes on them using the pencil then compile these notes into a complete document?

[@bodendorfer]

yes, there is a handful that will do this. The new edition of Noteshelf 3 offers this.

[@TheRusselmuscle]

I have such a hard time getting the cursor in the right place by taping the page and tapping the pen just leaves a mark on the page. Drives me so nuts and slows me down so much.

[@bodendorfer]

I believe you should be in pen mode and select the pen with an A and then tap the location where you want to write the text.

[@trappleye]

Is there a setting inside one note? I don't get the tip with 'A" when I enable scribble

[@annakirillov]

I had the same problem. Just restart your ipad ( hold up volume button and power button)

[@DickBeech]

Same here. Reset my iPad numerous times and no joy. Did you manage it?

[@aditigarg812]

How do I change the color of this scribble option?

[@WordGirlPhotoEdits]

This is AWESOME!!! Yay!!!

[@bodendorfer]

Its exciting!

[@staceymcdonald9622]

It didn’t work for me 😢

[@ArulKumar-ub7bq]

How turn of in scribble auto correction while writing after converting text

[@clivepetty2338]

Thanks great video

[@vrsap4]

Hello Brandon, Does apple pencil2 on ipad pro has the cursor hovering feature for the ONE NOTE app, as it has on surface pro. I need it for hovering the cursor on the screen as a pointer while screen sharing with other people along with writing on the screen as needed. Please see and if it does, please upload a clip. I currently use the surface pro, but it gets too hot. So I want to try different tablets that support digital pens. Please note, I am a heavy user of the one note app and I have to use only the onenote app for my work.

[@bodendorfer]

no this is not a feature of the apple iPad that I can see.

[@vrsap4]

@@bodendorfer , thank you for letting me know. Today I went to best buy, but they have the demo mode with M1 processor. The rep told that it might be available on latest M2 processor model as per the Apple support website. But he could not confirm. So, He suggested me to travel to Apple Store a couple of hours away from my location where they have the latest model.

[@fullspecwarrior]

This is cool. You don't need iPad os 16 though. Working fine on 15.6.1

[@olivierw9447]

Does it work only with Apple Pencil, or also with alternative brands and models?

[@Audiophil7]

It works also with 3rd party pencils.

[@601Music-dl2xt]

I want to use a new downloaded font for this Handwriting to text conversation pen. Is that possible.

[@bodendorfer]

I am not 100% sure, but I imagine if you install the font and set it as a default text it would do so.

[@eugenioaguayo6583]

Is there a similar feature to use in one note for Windows, instead of using laso,

[@bodendorfer]

You mean the concert text to ink? I often tap the screen with my figure which enables text mode then I click and hold the cursor and select the ink I want as text. Then last convert to text.

[@eugenioaguayo6583]

@@bodendorfer i mean to do the same as your video but in Windows. To just handwrite and automatically convert with out clickin anyother buttons

[@cobyabbygayle]

Thank you

[@rommelgoodie]

it's not longer available. Did they update it yet?

[@bodendorfer]

It should be available with the latest iPad OS update.

[@Oldnose63]

There’s only one thing left to wish for: Apple should make it work for all languages. Even in iOS 17 that still is not possible. Hurts to see all those happy IPad users play around d with something for over a year and all you know that it’s not for you. Of course I could adapt English or German or French as my main language and throw out all other keyboards so it would work but hey I work internationally and am native in another language that is not supported. How can Apple support teachers and schools where they learn languages. How do they do that?

[@Gorganahfikark]

Excellent video thank you, interested in that digital planner in OneNote

[@bodendorfer]

Great to hear. The planner is actually the Key2Success Planner. You can find it here: OneNote Planner Shop: bit.ly/3H0n6j5

[@Tyetheberious]

Can you convert handwritten checkboxes?

[@bodendorfer]

No but you could make a O... That help

[@johnkasza3893]

Yes it is great! However, I remain disappointed that I still cannot directly convert handwriting that I have already written to text on the iPad. I can do it on the computer but not on the iPad. Unfortunately, an example of "Customer No Service" from Apple and Microsoft.

[@sergiomogollon9777]

Thank you!!!

[@bodendorfer]

You're welcome!

[@angelaernst4537]

Will they be doing this for Android?

[@bodendorfer]

I believe it will come to android. But right now with android you can use your stylus to write to text as well.

[@michelleramirez4242]

Yeah!!

Great isn’t it!

Speed it up bro -- so much wind up

I am from the Midwest. This is fast speed for us.

[@sadaedost]

Lots of time wasting talk in the first 2 minutes. it would be great if you write in an actual situation with pencil and this way focus on your video message and cut the crap

I will take your expert advice in to count. Meanwhile, if you have such great advice, why don't you make your own video with such advice. Thanks for watching.
