Journal wanted to take the concept further by combining the digital ink input with AI.Īs a result, the application’s AI was trained to automatically recognize and categorize the things users write, including headings, starred items, keywords, and even drawings. In the beginning, journal was designed to offer users an alternative to grabbing a pen and paper when inspiration strikes, while still allowing them to express themselves through writing.Īt the time, the company explained that it had launched an ink-focused application called Journal in 2002 and continued to provide the “ink” functionality across apps including Whiteboard, OneNote, PowerPoint and more.

Microsoft this week announced the new note-taking app will now be called “Microsoft Journal” and allow users to create drawings and capture their thoughts on Windows tablets, 2-in-1s, and other devices with a pen.

The app is now becoming a full-fledged Microsoft Windows app instead of an experimental project. It has been a little over a year since the launch of Journal – an AI-powered note-taking app built by Microsoft Garage. Introduction: Journal – AI Powered Note Taking App
