Summary
Microsoft is gearing up to introduce a new feature in OneNote that allows Copilot to read and interpret handwritten notes.
This feature, which entered beta testing recently, will enable users to write notes with a stylus and then utilize Copilot to summarize the content, ask questions, or generate to-do lists based on those notes.
The AI-powered Copilot in OneNote will also be capable of converting handwritten notes into editable and shareable text. Initially launched in November, this upgraded feature will be available to current Copilot for Microsoft 365 subscribers and Copilot Pro users once it is widely released.
In my brief tests, I found Copilot’s ability to read my handwriting quite impressive. The summarization feature performed well on both short and long notes. When I asked Copilot to rewrite a handwritten paragraph, it converted it into clear, readable text that remained true to the original while adding a touch of personality. This is notable given that generative AI models sometimes struggle with accuracy.
For those who use OneNote for handwritten to-do lists, this feature makes converting those lists into text much more efficient. I created a handwritten list, and Copilot accurately transformed it into a text list within seconds. However, I'm curious how Copilot will handle even more challenging handwriting. Samsung’s Galaxy AI has a similar function but struggles with particularly messy handwriting.
To try out Copilot’s handwriting recognition, you need to be a Microsoft 365 Insider using the latest OneNote on Windows build (17628.20006 or later) and have a Copilot Pro or Copilot for Microsoft 365 subscription.
