Converting ink to text on OneNote for iPad

The question is how to convert ink to text when using OneNote for iPad. This question has been asked by many iPad users and it is often answered incorrectly. The "solution" to this question asked by someone in Sweden who is using OneNote on an iPad running a version iOS 13 would be correct for the Microsoft desktop/laptop full version of OneNote. (The Surface Tablet runs this version). However, it is not a solution for the person asking this question. There is no "ink to text" section under the Draw tab on the iPad version. As far as I know, there is no native method to convert ink to text within OneNote for iPad. While there are some workarounds such as converting it within another app then paste and copy into OneNote. There is a request in this community for Microsoft to add this feature and Apple community members can vote on this request. I suggest all those interested in this feature vote to add this feature.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

For third party Apps, such as Microsoft OneNote, you need to direct feature requests and support questions to the App Developer.
