On Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14328.

"Hello! My name is Li-Chen Miller and I lead the Windows Ink development team. Today I have the honor to announce that some of the many Windows features Ink is already available to program members preliminary assessment Windows with a fast update cycle. We plan to add a few more features in the coming months. Today's assembly includes a fundamentally new working Windows area Ink Workspace - a single center where all the functions for working with a pen are collected. Kind of like the Start menu, only for Windows Ink. Here's what it looks like.


When designing Windows, we have always tried to make human-computer interaction as natural as possible. To make it more convenient to use a digital pen, we came up with and implemented the ability to leave notes directly on web pages in Microsoft Edge, built several specialized features into OneNote. But it's still too difficult for many users to use the pen on Windows. And the complex needs to be simplified. Therefore, in Windows 10 Anniversary update we decided to make working with a digital pen as close as possible to writing and drawing with a regular pen on paper, and then add superpowers to our “pen”. Working with a digital pen and handwriting is now more natural, which means you will be more productive.

With a pen and Windows Ink, you can bring your wildest ideas to life. Windows Ink is based on two key ideas. First, we want to make inking as easy as possible so that even first-timers can use the pen with confidence. Secondly, we want it to be obvious to people why they should use a pen at all, and once they've tried it, they want to use it on Windows every day. To do this, we needed completely new opportunities.

All children learn to draw and write with pencils and pens, and soon it becomes easy and natural. We want to make the transition from pen and notepad to digital pen in Windows as seamless as possible. For this we need windows technologies Inc.

But enough generalities. Let's find out exactly what Insiders saw today.


Meet Windows Ink Workspace

The most important update is the new Windows Ink Workspace. All handwriting-related features and apps are collected here to make them easier to find.

To open Windows Ink Workspace, just click its button on the taskbar or click on the pen base of a new computer. From the built-in pen capabilities (found in Sketchbook, Screen Sketch, and Sticky Notes) to the external apps you might need, we've thoughtfully designed the interface to make sure everything is at your fingertips. For even more convenience, you can even work with Windows Ink Workspace on top of the lock screen. Note that if you don't have an active pen device but would like to try out the Windows Ink Workspace functionality, you can click right click mouse on the taskbar and select "Show Windows button Ink Workspace. If you don't have a pen at all, you can still use handwriting - with your finger.


Album: space for your ideas and creations

We analyzed what and how people do with pen and paper. Based on this research, we identified three key actions and implemented them in Windows Ink Workspace. It's so easy and natural to sketch or write something on a blank sheet of paper, it's so nice to see your ideas take shape... To bring that feeling to the Windows digital world, we've created a scrapbook. In it, you'll find a blank space in which to sketch, write down a plan for the day, draw patterns while talking on the phone, or deduce the proof of a theorem. In addition, hand movements will now also be more natural: you can comfortably rest your wrist on the screen, and with your other hand, drag the digital ruler onto the sheet to draw a straight line - just like on paper. And the result of your creativity can be saved and shown to someone.


Screen Sketch: Mark important things and share
New improved notes

Finally, we are drastically changing the notes familiar to everyone. Now you can create and save notes on Windows computers and slightly change them: stretch, reduce, choose a background color. But this will not always be the case. New features will be coming in the coming months. You can turn your notes into reminders that Cortana will announce on different devices. Bing will learn how to intelligently extract objects from notes. You can write down the phone number, and it will immediately prepare for dialing. Brief notes on the run, as if by magic, turn into a list that is easy to edit. You just need to write down the flight number, and Bing will immediately find information about its status. As a result, notes will become much more useful, but using them will be as easy as paper and pen.

Great handwriting apps at your fingertips

And the last one for today. Windows Ink Workspace will bring you the best pen apps based on your interests, as well as the most popular and rated pen apps in the Store. Many users have complained that it's hard to tell which Store apps support the pen. That's why we've added a link that takes you to the Store page, where you'll find all the apps that support your pen. So far, these are mainly applications for artists, but we are actively working on creating more diverse applications for the pen. After all, Windows Ink is not for the elite. Everyone will be able to use handwriting, and the set of applications will reflect this.

Can't find the app you just wrote or drew in? Windows Ink Workspace now includes a recent apps section so you can quickly get back to work you've interrupted.

Pen setup


With this update, customizing your pen experience has never been easier. Choose Settings > Devices > Pen to customize everything from the buttons on your Bluetooth connected pen to the ability to use Windows Ink Workspace without unlocking it. Here you can also choose what actions will be performed by single and double clicks of the pen, as well as by pressing and holding. Now you can work with the pen the way you want!

And this is just the beginning...

Our goal is to create a unique handwriting experience for every user, and we hope we're heading in the right direction. We have just begun work: these are just the first steps on the way to a full-fledged Windows functionality Inc. Your feedback will help us bring amazing inking experiences to millions of Windows 10 users. Share your feedback in the Feedback Hub or get involved in building ink-enabled apps (dev blog)."
