I bought a Surface3 specifically to write notes and draw with OneNote. OneNote has its own big problems, and I would love to spend a good amount of moneyfor software that gets writing, write recognition and draw recognition right. To document software, I draw diagrams a lot. It would be great when a lowlevel api would be exposed to recognize specific types of diagrams (e.g. sequence, class, ...).
- Analemma_ 8y agoDidn't Microsoft introduce some kind of collaborative OneNote-like program that also does recognition of common symbols (arrows, boxes, etc?). Similar to Google's Jamboard software? I thought I remembered seeing this in one of their Surface presentations but can't seem to find it now.

- wlesieutre 8y agoOneNote does this, but not very well. It can understand polygons and ovals. Arrows drawn in one stroke will convert to a line with no arrow at the end, and if you try to draw a > arrowhead as a separate stroke it doesn't understand to convert it to a shape. Using a closed triangle as an arrowhead does trigger shape conversion, but I don't know anyone who draws arrows that way. It's called "Ink to Shape" on the Draw tab.

- meanmrmustard92 8y agoThere's an application on the windows store called Nebo that does writing and write recognition and claims to do drawing recognition too (although I rarely use it; I wanted to use it for math but that is extremely dodgy so far; not sure why because detextify would give it ample training data).
