The text will show in a new window.Īpples Scribble works differently: The handwriting is replaced by computer text on the fly.Īnd then there are more and more apps that analyze pictures of text, and extract (not only OCR for search) text from it.
Yes, it is superior because it analyzes the writing itself, not just the result.Īt least in GoodNotes 5 the conversion to text happens after the writing, in a second step: You need to select a passage of your handwriting with the lasso, and tell the app to convert it. People who want to write longhand and get their stuff converted into computer text usually do this on an app running the Nebo engine (or similar). So people who prefer their primary text input to be longhand - when entering lots of text, notes, creative writing, etc, are not happy yet. Scribble is best - so far - with short bursts of text, not novel-writing, to choose an extreme example. Many of these handwriting discussions here began before Apple introduced Scribble. Google Lens does it, and now Apple started to do it (though in Apple's case it's on device?) But we are seeing other server-based approaches that do analyze a scan or picture. It's different than analyzing a static picture. Yes, the Nebo approach needs to record your ink strokes, since the order, direction, velocity, etc all factor into how Nebo decodes your handwriting. With iOS 15 we get instant local text recognition in pictures - EN IMHO needs to do something to keep up. Scribble is already great (and they keep adding languages, initially I had to switch my system language to English to be able to activate it). The EN handwriting recognition is older, and I think it is proprietary from EN. I am not aware it is tuned to run on a server, every app I know using it does recognition on the device.

Most apps doing the handwriting stuff use a license of the Nebo engine.

On IOS the PDF has to be copied to PDF Expert then copied back into a new note in Evernote, needing filing and tagging after every reading/annotation session - completely impractical. On MacBook it is easy to annotate in PDF Expert with changes appearing instantly in the original Evernote note. Evernote is hopeless for PDF annotation on IOS, particularly with no zoom or finger/palm rejection. Much more frustratingly, my other major use of Apple Pencil is annotating PDF’s with script and highlights, normally using PDF Expert. It cannot even distinguish between a finger and the Apple Pencil when sketching. Noteshelf is brilliant and any Evernote user taking handwritten notes should use it rather than any of the alternatives. It would just be easier if Evernote offered the same editing functions, with stationery and PDF import, itself. In all other instances-including when interacting with text boxes-the stylus accessory will now work as a pointing tool.I have used Penultimate, Goodnotes, Nebo and many others over the years and now use Noteshelf as it syncs to Evernote so that the read-only Evernote copy keeps up with changes in the Noteshelf original and allows quick and easy read-only access, filing and tagging within Evernote. With Scribble disabled, your Apple Pencil will only be able to write in apps designed to support handwriting. You will find the option near the bottom of the “Apple Pencil” submenu. Next, scroll down and select the “Apple Pencil” option from the left-hand pane.įinally, tap on the “Scribble” toggle to turn off the feature. If you’re not sure if your Apple Pencil is connected, either magnetically attach it to the side of your iPad (second-gen Pencil) or plug it into the Lightning port (first-gen Pencil). With your Apple Pencil paired with your iPad, open the “Settings” app. If you don’t use or like Scribble, you can disable the feature.
Instead of typing, you can scribble a message and have your iPad automatically convert your handwriting to text. The Scribble feature, introduced in iPadOS 14, allows you to use your Apple Pencil to write in text boxes.
