Apple iPad and Pencil (2nd generation)

Apple Pencil 2

On supported iPad models, you can use Apple Pencil (sold separately) and Scribble to enter text. Without opening or using the onscreen keyboard, you can quickly reply to a message, jot down a reminder, and more. Scribble converts your handwriting to text directly on your iPad, so your writing stays private. Use Apple Pencil to enter text in any text field Write with Apple Pencil in any text field, and Scribble automatically converts your handwriting into typed text. Scribble even works when your handwriting extends beyond the edges of the text field. To use an action shortcut, tap the Scribble toolbar. Available actions depend on the app you’re using, and may include the Undo button (⎌), the Show Keyboard button, and more. To automatically minimize the toolbar when you’re entering text, tap the Ellipsis button, then turn on Auto-minimize. To show the full toolbar, tap the minimized version.
