I wholeheartedly concur. Dscript can do some amazing things that I thought this would be included as a basic feature for screen captures. I soooo need this feature.

There's another thread about text annotations here:

I would like to see a visual editor like miro.com with a full suite of icons, lines, boxes, arrows, etc. Miro.com makes it easy to annotate and enter text and keep the text searchable. I had forgotten about screenflow. So thanks for the tip.

Hope we can get a nice drawing panel added and make it easy to draw perfect lines with rulers and templates, circles, boxes, and perhaps add emoji's and other creative features to the video and type text.

Here's the quick demo of miro: https://webwhiteboard.com/

They have a lot more on their full product: https://miro.com/

I'd like to see the same type of fluid drawing in Descript with an annotation panel that doesn't require constantly picking a tool with command+k. I.e. to draw a bunch of straight lines, I want to pick the line tool, set it to a straight line, pick a color and go to it. Preferably with context sensitive popup menus instead of the huge fly over panels that are currently used for objects.
