I am using Apple Pencil for pages and do want to leave it as a handwriting mode. Already spoke with Apple support team and they said they don’t know.
it works for a while and stop working after the latest sw version installation.
iPad Air, 17
To stop Scribble from converting your handwriting to text using Apple Pencil on a compatible iPad:
This is mentioned at the bottom of this article: Enter text with Scribble on iPad - Apple Support
There is also: Draw, annotate, and use Scribble in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote - Apple Support
If I had never owned a Newton MessagePad 2100, I might never have known how good handwriting recognition could be, or how one can capture handwriting without converting it to text.
Turning off Scribble in iPadOS Apple Stylus settings certainly does prevent the conversion of handwriting into text. It eliminates handwriting with an Apple Stylus. Someone at Apple did not think this through, so their documentation gives hope where it does not exist.
You should send feedback to the iPad Product team as there is no feedback for the Apple Stylus or iPadOS. Make it a feature request to provide a setting so that handwriting can be captured but not converted to text.
Tested: Pages v14.1, Apple Stylus Pro, M4 iPad Pro with iOS 17.6.1.
Thanks. Once you disable scribble the pencil doesn’t work at pages ( only in box drawing but not as a pen )
How to turn off the handwriting conversion to text. In pages. Leave scribble on for writing but not converting it.
