![]() I had noted the lack of compatibility with SkyDrive Pro/Office 365 previously, and you only needed to use the previous app versions briefly to discover the UI issues. ![]() The apps also feature better sharing features and remove the limit on the number of notes you could create: It’s now unlimited. ![]() The previous versions of these apps could only sync with SkyDrive, not SkyDrive Pro on SharePoint Online/Office 365. Now there are rich formatting options, as seen in the Windows mobile apps. One of the big issues with the iOS and Android versions of OneNote is that the formatting options were too basic. As you may know, OneNote mobile apps are also available for the Windows desktop, Windows 8/RT (“Metro”), Windows Phone 7.x and 8, and there is a OneNote Web App as well. Microsoft enhanced the apps’s UIs to ensure that notes appear the same across all devices and platforms. The apps were re-architected to deliver more reliable syncing and enable Microsoft to update the apps more rapidly in the future. But in looking at the apps before and after the update, I’m pretty sure that’s not the case.Īccording to Microsoft, the OneNote app updates on iPhone/iPod touch, iPad, and Android offer the following improvements: I actually received a few complaints from readers about these app updates, since many assumed that they in some way pushed the iOS and Android versions of the apps ahead of the Windows Phone 8 or Windows 8/RT OneNote mobile apps. Best of all, it now works with SkyDrive Pro in SharePoint, SharePoint Online and the business versions of Office 365. The new app versions improve back-end notes syncing while bringing their respective UIs up to date with the more modern Windows versions of the apps. He also shared a lot more about the future of OneNote.Microsoft this week launched major updates to its OneNote mobile apps for iPhone, iPad and Android. 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. Microsoft says it has learned a lot since 2003, when it added inking to OneNote for Windows. 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.
