“Enhance Your Handwriting on iPadOS 18 with the Intelligent Script Feature for the Apple Pencil”

Apple announced at WWDC on Monday that iPadOS 18 will include a new “Smart Script” feature that will clean up your handwriting when using an Apple Pencil to write in Notes. With Smart Script, Apple says it’s making handwriting your notes even smoother and straighter. The feature improves the appearance of your writing as you write by using on-device machine learning to recreate your handwriting from your notes. If you need to add to something you have already written, you can tap and hold with your Apple Pencil to create more space. Apple says Smart Script makes your handwritten notes more effective, fluid and easer to read.

At the annual Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, Apple revealed an exciting update to its iPadOS: version 18 will introduce a revolutionary “Smart Script” feature specifically designed for those using an Apple Pencil to write in Notes.

The goal of Smart Script is clear – to enhance your handwriting and make it even more precise and consistent. By utilizing on-device machine learning, the feature acts as a digital assistant, improving the appearance of your writing as you jot down your thoughts. The end result is your own handwriting, but with a smoother and more legible finish.

But Smart Script doesn’t just stop at cleaning up your handwriting. It also fixes any quick mistakes you may make, allowing you to stay in your writing flow without any disruptions.

However, the most intriguing aspect of Smart Script is its ability to create a seamless integration between handwritten and typed notes. You can easily paste text into your handwritten notes, making it appear as if it was written by hand. And if you need to add to something you’ve already written, simply tap and hold with your Apple Pencil to create more space. And for those pesky mistakes, just scribble over them to quickly erase them.
