A Microsoft is about to turbocharge the Copilot of OneNote to read and analyze handwritten notes. The resource, which entered beta at the end of last month, will allow OneNote users to handwrite notes using a digital pen and then summarize them, ask questions, or even generate to-do lists based on them.

O Copilot, with built-in artificial intelligence, can even convert your handwritten notes into text for easier editing and sharing. A Microsoft launched the Copilot in OneNote last November, and this update will be available to existing subscribers of Copilot to Microsoft 365 and users of Copilot Pro as soon as it is officially launched.
If you use OneNote to make to-do lists by hand, this feature definitely makes it easier to convert them to text later.
However, it is still unknown how the Copilot will deal with terrible handwriting. The similar AI feature of Samsung Galaxy can automatically format handwritten lists, but it suffers from very difficult writing.

To test your computer's recognition of handwritten notes, Copilot, you need to be an Insider of Microsoft 365, run the latest version of OneNote on Windows (build 17628.20006 or later), and have a subscription to Copilot Pro or Copilot to Microsoft 365.
