Handwriting recognition

Handwriting recognition​

The Document Editor supports handwriting recognition using the Apple Pencil. The following functions are available:

  • adding text;
  • selecting text and graphic objects, i.e., tables, charts, images, and changing their position or size.
note

Currently, only English is supported. iOS 14 or later is required.

To use handwriting recognition in the Document Editor:

  1. Tap with the Apple Pencil in the place you want to insert your text. The place will be marked with a text cursor.

  2. Tap the Apple Pencil twice to switch to the handwriting mode.

    note

    The double tap gesture can be changed in the Apple Pencil settings.

  3. Write your text in any blank space of the document.

  4. Tap the Apple Pencil twice to exit the handwriting mode. The handwritten text will be converted automatically.
