Text conversion

[argon2]

When converting handwriting to text in Journal it is possible to :

1. Either preserve or ignore the line breaks ;
2. Copy to the clipboard or Insert in the same journal note

Is it possible to do these with One Note?

ad 1.: No choice in ON.
The conversion woks per line if text.

ad 2.: No choice either.
The converted text will be inserted automatically at the place inked
text and *replace* it.

But just try it out. There is a fully functional 60-days-trial

Although OneNote plays in different league, there is a smaller number of
things where Journal has advantages. But it's easy enough to use both
together.

Let's back up a bit before answering the questions. OneNote automatically
converts Ink to text in the background and instantly makes it searchable.
It even stores several reasonable conversions if your handwriting isn't
clear for a given word. So you never have to explicitly convert your
handwriting to text in order to use that data elsewhere. You can keep all
of your OneNote notes in their original handwritten format forever.

1) Any line breaks in the handwritten Ink will be retained when converted
to text.

2) Once the Ink is copied to the clipboard, it can be pasted into any
application that accepts either text or Ink. If the application has a
Paste Special option, it is more likely that it will accept either Ink or
text. If you do manually convert the Ink to Text in OneNote for whatever
reason, the converted text remains as text and can be pasted anywhere, even
on the same page in OneNote.
