Microsoft Office To Support The Handwriting To Text Feature Of Apple Pencil

The feature lets you enter and edit text in a Word document, PowerPoint presentation, or Excel spreadsheet using Apple Pencil, with the handwriting automatically converted to typed text, AppleInsider reports. After enabling the Scribble feature in Settings and then Apple Pencil, the feature can be used by tapping the Scribble Pen button under the Draw tab in version 2.64 of the Office app. The feature can be tested now by members of the Office Insider program via TestFlight, and the update will likely roll out to the App Store for all users in the coming weeks. Scribble was added in iPadOS 14 for any iPad that supports the original or second-generation Apple Pencil, including any iPad Pro, iPad Air third-generation and newer, iPad mini fifth-generation and newer, and iPad sixth-generation and newer. Microsoft’s unified Office app with Word, PowerPoint and Excel gained iPad compatibility in February 2021 and is also available for iPhone. Join us at
