High CPU usage (167%) just by scrolling canvasView in the sample project
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.

Apple Pencil not pairing
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?

ML API for handwriting to text
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?

Broken writing (dotted) with Apple Pencil
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.

Apple pen and gaming
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!!

Scribble Nordic languages
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?
