Handwriting Keyboard

Enter handwriting into other apps using an offline keyboard with finger or Apple Pencil input.

Layout choices and adjustable recognition delay accommodate different writing habits.

Keep in mind: Only US English and Japanese are supported, and custom text fields may need Inline Input disabled.

What you can do

  • Japanese conversion and US English recognition
  • Pencil palm rejection and editable writing controls

Good for

  • People who prefer handwriting in supported languages.

Consider alternatives for

  • People needing British English or other recognition languages.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 13.6.
  • Only US English and Japanese are supported, and custom text fields may need Inline Input disabled.

Privacy & permissions
