Good news for Microsoft 365 users everywhere: Copilot is not the only exciting feature to be released on the platform recently, as the Redmond-based tech giant is unveiling a new capability that will let users convert their handwriting to text as they write.

We’re talking about the new Ink to Text Pen tool that is coming to Microsoft 365 apps such as Word, OneNote, and PowerPoint, and it will essentially change the way users interact with these platforms.

The new Ink to Text Pen won’t be used only for converting handwriting to text, but Microsoft says the tool can also be used to interact with the documents users create on these platforms. By interaction, the new Ink to Text Pen tool can be used to create, select, delete, or split and join texts.

First of all, to use to new Ink to Text Pen, you need to meet the following requirements:

1. Open your Word, OneNote, or PowerPoint, and go to their respective Settings or Draw panels, and select the Ink to Text Pen tool.

Now that the Ink to Text Pen tool is open, you can try multiple scenarios. Microsoft says you’re capable of:

• A digital pen or stylus. The Ink to Text Pen does not support any other form of input. 
• The latest version of Windows 11 23H2. 
• Additional language support will require the Windows 11 October 31 update (KB5031455).
