convert handwriting to text using OneNote

I am using an iPad Pro and OneNote. When I use the lasso around handwriting there is no option to "convert to text'. What am i missing?

Nor apparently can you do this on MacBook. If it was just the ipad, I could live with it, but I've just written several pages of notes and apparently can't convert it to text on OneNote for Mac at all; the text is apparently searchable but OneNote does not recognize many words. I have a pretty clear handwriting and never have problems with text recognition in, e.g. Notes Plus, except when I used non-standard characters or switch between languages. Looks I will have retype the notes and use Notes Plus exclusively for note-taking & then copy the OCR'd text into OneNote which I still like for organization.
