Microsoft Corp. recently announced in a blog post some of the new features added to its OneNote for Windows app in October, including features for users with digital pens, as well as some new layout improvements.
In a blog post, Microsoft said, “When you select the text pen in the Drawing tab, you can convert your handwriting to text as you write and edit your converted notes with natural gestures, such as selecting text with underlining, deleting text with smudging, and more. We’ve also added tools to help you better annotate, handwrite notes, and draw. This includes a brand new drawing tab, improved inking reliability, and a quick help shortcut built specifically for inking!”
OneNote for Windows also adds text prediction, which saves time by trying to show the next possible word or phrase to be typed when the user types some words. This new feature requires a Microsoft 365 subscription.
Additionally, Microsoft has added the Vertical tab option to the View menu in OneNote for Windows.
Finally, Microsoft says that OneNote for Windows will add the previously announced Copilot AI feature in November. Microsoft says:
Copilot in OneNote helps you create, capture, organize, and recall information with more confidence. As your AI-powered note-taking partner, Copilot can draft plans, summarize your notes, generate ideas, create lists, organize information, and more based on your prompts.
It’s important to note that the above features are only available for OneNote for Windows, which is scheduled to stop receiving updates after October 2025 for OneNote for Windows 10.
