How do you use handwriting to text in NOTES on the new iPads (esp. 6th Gen)??

Is information on how to use handwriting to text in NOTES on the new iPads buried somewhere? Can't find anything... Is it a secret? I saw the guy at the Apple store do it, and it's what made me buy a new iPad. Now there is NOTHING on how to do this, certainly no menu item in NOTES.... Anybody know? Or did I just dream it?

Hi, there, Chris G-


Thank you so much for replying. I appreciate it very much. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I thought I wrote "handwriting to text" above, not "how to draw." I know how to use Notes - and the new functions. I was referring to how to convert handwriting to text, as I saw demonstrated at the Apple store, on Notes. (And oddly, as Apple advertises but provides no information on.) There is nothing on this subject of converting handwriting to text except "buy an app on the App Store." Your URL reference "Use Notes on your iPhone..." has nothing on handwriting to text. The word "handwriting" doesn't even appear anywhere. Hopefully, this clarifies my question. Thanks again!

Hi, I'm resending my reply as it may not have gotten through...


My question had nothing to do with drawing. My question was about handwriting-to-text conversion using NOTES on the iPad 6th Gen, which I just bought. There is no information anywhere about this, even though I saw the guy demo this function on Notes at the Apple store for me - and I used it myself and was impressed- and it was the reason I ended up upgrading to the 6th Gen, even though my 4th Gen was perfectly useful in all other respects.


Thanks!
