‘Copy Handwriting as Text’ allows users to handwrite something and then copy and paste it as standard text. ‘Data Detectors’ recognize handwriting and then provide useful actions like opening up a handwritten address in Apple Maps or calling a handwritten phone number using the FaceTime app. ‘Scribble’ allows Apple Pencil users to write in any text field and have it immediately converted into standard text.
