On iOS: Launch the OneNote app, start a new note, and tap the pen tip icon at the upper right. You can immediately start drawing on the note with your finger.
A drawing toolbar appears along the top that looks similar to the Android toolbar but is less fully featured. There’s one pen, the highlighter, the eraser, the lasso, and the undo arrow. The color and thickness of the pen and highlighter are not adjustable. (The drawing tool in the OneNote for iPadOS app does offer the full feature set.)
PowerPoint: Rehearse your presentation before the big meeting
If you’ll be showing a presentation at an upcoming meeting, the PowerPoint app can help you practice your speech. Its Rehearse with Coach tool will give advice and rate the clarity and pace of your speaking. It doesn’t alter the presentation file itself.
With your presentation file open in the PowerPoint app, tap the three-dot icon at the upper-right corner. On the menu that appears, scroll down and select Rehearse with Coach. If asked, grant the app permission to use your microphone.
Speaking into your phone’s mic, start reading your prepared speech aloud or improvising from your notes. As you talk, Rehearse with Coach will give you on-screen words of advice and encouragement, and rate the clarity of your voice. A timer helps you track how long you’ve been talking.
PowerPoint’s Rehearse with Coach feature listens to your presentation, providing advice and encouragement.
