  1. Check the handwriting recognition settings in your account.

  2. If you’re using the standard handwriting recognition, you can adjust the settings to better recognize your handwriting.

  3. If you’re using pen input from a tablet or stylus, check the device settings and any app-specific settings you might have.

  4. You might need to adjust the pen pressure settings for the device.

  5. If you’re writing in two languages, make sure all the relevant language packs are installed.

  6. Make sure you’re installing the latest driver and version for any digital pen devices.

  7. Check the handwriting recognition settings in any companion apps you might be using, like Surface Dial.

  8. If all else fails, uninstall OneNote and reinstall the latest version from the Microsoft Store.
