Turning off Scribble without disabling pen for notes on iPad

I absolutely hate scribble and just want my handwriting but when I turn off scribble my pen gets disabled. I have restarted my notes and and hard reset the ipad still no luck. When scribble is on it tries to turn all my handwriting to type. I just want my handwriting.

It's been almost 3 years since the 1st post like this. Hey Apple, are you going to address this?

Two settings - one of which you already know about...

Settings > Apple Pencil >

Only Draw with Apple Pencil - set to ON
Scribble - set to OFF

When using the Notes App, your hand-written script will not be converted to text.
