ArcReader - ability to add mark-up text

This is VERY much needed. I thought a few releases ago I had read this was in the works? I saw on the forums someone asking again, and someone from ESRI suggesting posting the 'Idea' here. I certainly hope to see this added in the new future, have you ever tried to write (crayon) in legible text using a mouse? Not everyone using ArcReader for a markup tool is using a tablet.

I'm hoping this happens ASAP!

ArcGIS Desktop is in mature support and will be retired March 1, 2026 so we won’t be considering this idea. We recommend that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro, our fully supported desktop GIS application. See Migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro for more information. Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas. We truly appreciate your contributions to continuously improving the software to help you do your work and look forward to what ideas you have for ArcGIS Pro.
