Usually I either type notes or handwrite, but I never intend for my handwriting to convert into editable text which is why Scribble is such a great option. You can try it out by first going to Settings - Apple Pencil. You can really see the Scribble feature shine in the iOS Notes app - just bring up the Pencil toolbar by tapping the pencil with a circle around it, and then tap the “Handwriting” pen (it has a capital A on it). Now just start handwriting one letter at a time and watch the magic. You can also circle a text word with the Apple Pencil to select it. You can delete a text word by scribbling it out. You can tap and hold with the Apple Pencil to create some space to start handwriting more. I DO wish it was supported in more apps - I regularly use Notability when I handwrite notes which has its own full set of features. Jeff’s iTip: Consider using GoodNotes for annotating documents instead of a traditional PDF app such as PDF Expert.Advantages of GoodNotes:If the document is not OCR’d, the highlight tool keeps the text a dark black.Easier to move a bunch of annotations by using the lasso tool. Somewhat better tools for drawing a sketch, such as the shape tool.Search your handwriting.Disadvantages / why PDF Expert is better:If the document is OCR’d, the highlight tool doesn’t snap to the text.Easier to move a single annotation by tapping it and then moving or deleting.Better polygon tool. PDF Expert lets you add your own toolbarBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlawSupport the showBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.comJeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com
