Ink Shape Recognition will help users by converting hand-drawn shapes into perfect-looking shapes. It recognizes basic shapes like circles, squares, triangles as well as complex shapes like quadrilaterals, pentagons and hexagons. To turn on Ink Shape Recognition, users need to tap the Convert to Shapes button on the Draw tab and start drawing with digital stylus. If a user does not have a digital stylus, he/she can use the button to the left of Convert to Shapes which will help achieve the same function on shapes drawn using touch or mouse.
