Supporting Scribble to Text?

Hi there,

I hope this message finds you well. I was reaching out to ask if Excel can or will eventually support Scribble to Text. I use multiple devices at my job and would love the ability to write within Excel cells and it convert to text.

I understand if this isn’t a possibility but thought I would give it a shot. I absolutely love all of the Microsoft apps, they are so user-friendly and smooth running! A way to convert my writing to text would just be the cherry on top! :)

Thank you!
