Microsoft Journal helps you create neat shapes and straight lines in ink, through AI-powered shape detection and enhancement.
Automatic Shape Enhancement
Activate shape enhancement by holding your pen for a second after drawing a desired shape. If Journal recognizes the desired shape, it will enhance your drawing into a standard shape in ink; otherwise, the ink will remain as-is in drawing.
If the result isn’t what you hoped for, you can undo the enhancement by hitting the undo button on the toolbar, or by using the undo hotkey (Ctrl+Z).
