They are not an early entrant here they need to do better than the competition, not notably worse. The tagging fiasco and lack of export are both unconscionable though and embarrassing, imo. Anyway, they don't appear to have screwed that up. Which, to be honest, is what I would have done too since it's pretty good. But they did this largely by copying google's two-factor auth stuff. I will say that they seem to have nailed all the account management, in particular two-factor auth, for the 'microsoft accounts'. You don't appear to be able to search for items matching a given tag. Even more bizarre, they seem to be only visual labels. And only the ones that the people at MS thought you might think were important. So you have 'Definition' and 'Idea' (which thankfully is not "Idea!") and 'To do priority 2'. There are tags, but they are canned and the user can't add their own tags. In fact, if you prefer tagging, look elsewhere. One Note will, however, appeal to people who prefer 'structuring' over 'tagging'. (Evernote has a fine export capability, fwiw). There is a 'Share as PDF' which is (a) not the same, and (b) broken for me because 'my email program is not set up properly' which is false. Most notable, there is no export functionality. Predictably, it does not play well others. Against my better judgment, I downloaded it and poked around. As a result, Microsoft has been updating the original OneNote for Windows with a new interface and more features.Meh. Microsoft stopped working on most UWP apps a few years ago, due to the failure of Windows Phone/Windows 10 Mobile and a lack of interest from other developers.
Everything else (like some of the design changes and the pen focus view) is coming at some point in the future.Įventually, the plan is for this updated OneNote app to replace ‘OneNote for Windows 10,’ which was a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app. Ink to shape, ink to text with font size awareness, and page sorting are all already rolled out in the Office OneNote app, and the options to insert a photo from camera and an improved share button are being tested in the Office Insider Program. Voice dictation will also support phrases like “delete that.” When you’re ready to review everything, the ink will play back in lockstep with the original recording. The voice dictation feature was already in testing, but when transcription is on, OneNote will record your drawings in sync with the audio recording. The updated OneNote also has a few tie-in features with drawing and voice dictation. There’s also an ‘Ink to text’ feature that converts text to a font size similar to your original writing. The tools are similar to what you get in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, with an ‘Ink to shape’ tool for drawing cleaner lines and a ruler for drawing straight lines. Ink support (drawing) is one of the main features of OneNote, and the updated version still has all the usual writing and drawing tools.
