Hello there, Does Scribble on iPadOS 14 support languages other than English? I tried switching to the Korean keyboard and when I write, it tries to convert to the English characters. If not currently, does Apple plan on supporting other languages for Scribble in the future? I think that would be a great addition. Thank you.

When writing in a text view, it would be useful to be able to enter new lines with scribble. Is there such a gesture? If not, I will submit a feedback request.

Is there a Machine Learning API that can take handwriting (either as a bitmap or as a list of points) and convert it to text? I know Scribble can be used to allow handwriting input into text fields, but in this API it is Scribble which controls the rendering of the handwriting. Is there an API where my app can render the handwriting and get information about the text content? In the Keynote demo Craig was able to get text content from a photo of a whiteboard. Are there APIs which would allow an app developer to create something similar?

There are use cases where someone who's using an Apple Pencil may not want to enter text via Scribble. A simple example is writing "UIViewController" in a text view is unlikely to be successful. I'd like to disable Scribble in this case and let the keyboard become the input mechanism. (Disabling Scribble system-wide in Settings is both cumbersome and overkill.) The closest I can come to making this happen is by adding a UIScribbleInteraction on a UITextView and returning false when scribbleInteraction(shouldBeginAt:) is called. This disables Scribble on the text view, and prevents writing from being converted into text, but the input widget still appears on screen and isn't very useful. Here is a sample project that demonstrates the problem: http://files.iconfactory.net/craig/bugs/Scribbler.zip Hopefully, I'm doing something wrong here. If not, I'm happy to submit this as a FB. -ch

Hy! Hope you are all doing well. I already ask this question but no one give me any solution. I saw video of Inspecting, Modifying, and Constructing PencilKit Drawings. This video clear my all concepts. But I've one issue I want to draw on numbers like alphabets but there is no numbers file. In this code only uppercase and lowercase drawing file but these files not open. Firstly kindly tell me how to open this file and how to draw on numbers like alphabets. Your solutions are appreciation for me. I am waiting for your solution. Thanks.

When will Turkish be supported by scribble?

I have 1st gen I Pencil, After connected once its show Not connected. Then Tap for Connect its show long time for failed or out of range or make sure accessories turn on but what is the problem i couldn't understand and how can i repair it ?

Hi, I’ve an iPad Air 2020 and IPad mini 6 with iOS 15.2 updated. Suddenly my Apple Pencil 2 started working weirded. It attaches to iPad normally and shows the Pencil charging as usual. However when I start writing, it writes in dotted pattern (broken characters and lines). A day before, everything was fine. Tip is the Pencil is ok. Bluetooth connect is ok. Please help.

Scribble has existed for more than a year now. When can me expect support for more languages? Like the Nordic languages: Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic and Finnish?

Dear apple, I want to ask that if we can scribble in Korean ?

Using pencil is very frustrating having to switch to keyboard for for a sample enter command. Draw an back arrow or something for enter is needed.

I have a 2nd gen Apple Pencil, but when I try to pair it, there is just an icon on the top of the screen indicating that it detects one, but then it straight up disappears and the Pencil never paired, nor will it show up on the Bluetooth settings. It might be because of my iPad because I’ve tried different Pencils but none of them worked. And I’ve tried resetting my network settings and even the whole iPad itself and the issue remains. Am I the only one who has this problem?

Tried to ask as a comment in the other thread: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/650386?answerId=628394022#reply-to-this-question But can't leave a comment in there for some reason (the thread is locked?). Asking exactly the same question, now for iOS 15. Anything changed in this area? When selecting a stroke path for object on PKCanvas, the option "Snap to Shape" appears. I understand this function is still in beta and has not made available natively to other PencilKit app. Is there a way using Stroke API to call this function directly after the user hold pencil for half a second when stroke is done drawing, just like how it behaves in native apps?

i read year old post here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/650386?answerId=628394022#reply-to-this-question , where it is said it's not available for everyone right now. does anyone have any info about this when snap to Shape and writing to text might be available for every one ?

In the sample project "Drawing with PencilKit", even scrolling by 1 pixel can cause my iPad Pro to use 167% CPU and keep this usage for 2-5 seconds. My iPad got too hot after few minutes that I can't barely put my palm on it. This a serious problem and could be reprocedure easily: Run the sample "Drawing with PencilKit" on your iPad Open the sample note Select all strokes in the note and duplicate about 7 times (it is just an average number of strokes I write in a page on a note-taking app like GoodNotes). Scroll and watch the CPU usage jumps in Xcode It is not matter how long you scroll or how many strokes are visible on the screen. If the drawing has that much strokes, the CoreHandwriting objects will eat all the CPU. I hope it got fixed soon because it make apps with PencilKit consume too much baterry, getting too hot and we receive many bad review because of it :( Many thank to Pencil and Paperteam for developing this Framework btw, this framework is awesome, but it could be better, I believe.

Hi everyone, i have two questions about pencil 2 that how many language does it support using scribble? At the present, i know it supports english and japanese. The second quesion is... How long can its battery use in once full charge? Thanks

Years ago I used to use the Apple Pencil to play pubg. I used to move with my left hand and use the pencil in my right to control the view and shoot. I played today for the first time in a while and the pencil no longer works if my hand is already using the left side. Please tell me there’s a fix for this!!
