Windows 10: Unwanted accents/diacritics with Ink-to-Text

GabrielSeiglie · Sep 12, 2024

I'm using Ink-to-Text in MS Word on an HP Spectre x360. Every time I write "Jesus" which is a lot, because I'm in grad school for theology, it inserts "Jesús." This is incredibly annoying to fix, and it's not easy to correct that with ink-to-text. I've tried adding "Jesus" to my custom dictionary, changing my keyboard and proofing languages, etc. Nothing works.How do I get this to stop?

Diacritics

Hi,

I need to be able to type acute accents and other diacritics common in French (but also found in standard English borrowings from French/German/Spanish etc.) The suggestions I have found elsewhere seem to be to make the whole keyboard on my laptop French
- but this seems a poor option as then, surely, all the letters would be in a different order.

None of the advertised shortcuts online seem to work. My old Mac had this as standard, you just type apple E and it gives you an acute accent. I'm finding all the complications bizarre and frustrating ... it isn't too much to ask to be able to write cafe
correctly without reprogramming one's entire computer or jumping through innumerable and inexplicable hoops!

Introducing Ink to Text Pen tool in Word, OneNote, and PowerPoint

Hey, Microsoft 365 Insiders! My name is Mark Rideout and I’m a Product Manager on the Office AI team. I want to introduce the Ink to Text Pen tool. It enables you to use your digital pen (or stylus) to automatically convert your handwriting to text as you write. Introducing the Ink to Text Pen tool in Word, OneNote, and PowerPoint for Windows We know (based on your feedback!) that using your pen to insert and edit text in Microsoft 365 applications, such as Microsoft Word, can be challenging. This is especially true when you are adding content with your pen but also want your handwriting to be converted to text. With the new Ink to Text Pen tool on the Draw tab in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and OneNote for Windows, you can have your handwriting convert to text as you write. In addition, when working with text you can use pen gestures to select, delete, split or join text, and even create a new line. How it works

On the Draw tab, select the Ink to Text Pen tool.

Start writing in an empty space near the location you want to add text to, and then write as you normally would. 

To quickly make updates and even apply formatting to the converted text, use the selection or editing gestures.

Scenarios to try

Add text: With the Ink to Text Pen tool selected, start adding text to an existing document, or start a new document.

Select text: Use the Straight-line select gesture to select some text, and then apply formatting. Note you can also select text by double tapping with the pen on a word.

Replace text: Use the combination of selection and writing to replace text with new content.

Delete text: Use the Scratch out gesture to delete words, or even whole paragraphs.

Add a new line: Use the New line gesture to split up ideas into different lines, either at the end of a line of text or in the middle of a sentence after a word.

Split and join words: Sometimes words are converted to text conjoined or separated when you want the opposite. Use a simple straight line to split or join words.  In addition to drawing the Join gesture from the bottom to the top, you can also join two words using the same vertical top-down gesture as you use to split.

Bulleted lists: To create a bulleted list, start a new line with an asterisk, and then add your content.

Numbered lists: To create a numbered list, write a number 1 with a period, then add your content.

Learn more Tips and tricks When inserting text:

As you continue writing, note that your handwritten content is converted to text as long as you don’t pause too long between words.

Your handwriting is generally converted after each word is complete.

When editing text:

After writing and inserting new text, pause before attempting to use an editing gesture.

To insert a New line, ensure the gesture starts close enough to the end of the text and the return line extends far enough under the text.

You can use the New line gesture at the end of text in a bulleted or numbered list to automatically continue the list.

Split and Join gestures work best when you avoid starting too far above the line of text or continue too far below the line of text.

In addition to drawing the Join gesture from the bottom to the top, you can also join two words using the same vertical top-down gesture as you use to split. 

Known limitations The Ink to Text Pen tool currently only supports English (en-US), with additional languages coming very soon. The Ink to Text Pen tool is not available on the Draw tab if your input language is not supported.

In PowerPoint, the Ink to Text Pen tool will always insert text into the active shape or text box. 

In PowerPoint, the Ink to Text Pen tool will sometimes not auto format bulleted or numbered lines. 

In Word, the Ink to Text Pen tool is not available in the side-to-side page view.

Requirements The new Ink to Text Pen tool requires the following:

A digital pen or stylus. The Ink to Text Pen does not support any other form of input.

Latest version of Windows 11 23H2

Additional language support will require Windows 11 October 31 update (KB5031455)

Availability This feature is available to all Microsoft 365 Insiders running Word, PowerPoint, and OneNote for Windows, and meeting the requirements listed above. Feedback We want to hear from you!
