![]() Write in the compose field in Messages, or the address bar in Safari, and Scribble works nearly flawlessly, even for my crummy handwriting. ![]() But it's not just Apple's own apps that are playing nice with Scribble out of the gate. In my testing of iPadOS 14, I have found the Scribble is already working with third-party apps right now, without any updates. While I'm sure there are things developers will be able to do to optimize the experience for their apps, it works very well, even at this early stage. Scratching out a word in your typed text using the Apple Pencil's tip will see that word deleted. Circling a word with the Pencil will select it for copying or pasting. Touch and hold the Apple Pencil tip between two words to add a space. Scribble also has a palette of common actions for your app that you can access by tapping the pencil icon in one of the corners of your screen, usually the bottom-left corner. Opening the palette will show you a small set of controls like Undo, as well as a button to bring up the software keyboard. You can reposition this palette just as you can the one for Markup in apps that support that feature. Scribble is a truly impressive feature right out of the gate, and it plays a very important role in the other major Apple Pencil-related features coming to the Notes app this fall. The Notes app is getting some interesting enhancements in iPadOS 14, many of them centered around the Apple Pencil and handwriting. ![]() ![]() Powered by the Apple Pencil, handwriting produced by the Pencil in the Notes app can now be copied, just as you would highlight and copy typed text. This feature, called Smart Selection, lets you select single words or entire passages that have been written by hand. Double-tap a to select a single word, triple-tap to select a sentence, just as it works with typed text. Going further, you can swipe your Apple Pencil over large blocks of handwritten text without lifting it to select those blocks in a single motion. Once you select the handwritten text, you'll have the option to 'Copy as text' pop up. Tap this will convert your handwritten passage into typed text, which can then be pasted into any text field in Notes or any other text-based app. ![]()
