Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
It is almost impossible to get Scribble to recognize uppercase letters at the beginning of a word and with acronyms. Can't you enable something like a double-tap on the pencil to toggle case?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 14
I find that if you touch (with your finger, not the pencil) on the blue dotted underlined words (sometime several times), it will give the original intended version (e.g., with capital "L" in your example).
Another trick I've found is to start with only the capital capital letter, pause, and then finish the word:
“Don't forget to register for the L [pause] ecture S [pause] eries.” will yield “Don't forget to register for the Lecture Series.”
Apple support at this level is mostly bot scripts to check for the obvious and unfortunately delay addressing the real issue we all have to deal with.
After I reach my daily limit to tolerating Scribble, I fall back to disabling Scribble altogether and use the third party Handwriting Keyboard (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/handwriting-keyboard/id926102392)
For the ultimate handwriting experience, I find myself more frequently flipping over to my Samsung tablet with Google Keyboard handwriting that is unsurpassed.
I hope this helps (because Apple won't be getting back to us ;-)

I have the same issue; when I have clearly used Scribble to write the word "Lecture" it changes to "lecture" with blue dotted underlined text to indicate it has changed it. This happens for every word I write beginning with a capital letter. I am using iPadOS 14.2 and have tried the re-start as suggested to no avail!
Thanks, Leanne. I've tried your suggestion and unfortunately, it made no difference. I find that the following letters are most problematic: z p c s and j (these all were written in upper case-btw)
Given the newness of Scribble, I fully understand it's bound to have initial limitations and am willing to await it's maturing.
I recommend to not loose momentum and leverage the transition from being a Novelty feature to becoming a genuine Productivity capability. Third party products are significantly more advanced/capable so it may be increasingly harder to catch-up.
wiltjk,
Thanks for getting back to us with those details. We appreciate your effort in the steps that were performed.
Let's ensure that the iPad is updated to iPadOS 14.0.1. This provides software improvements that may help. Here's a helpful article with the proper steps: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If that doesn't help and you continue to experience the same behavior, we suggest to contact Apple Support to review this further. You can contact them through this link here: Get Support
Kind regards.
Hi wiltjk,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand with the use of Scribble on an iPad Pro, it's not recognizing your handwriting for uppercase letters.
Scribble is a great feature to immediately compose your messages. We'll be happy to help.
To help troubleshoot this behavior, we suggest to temporarily turn off Scribble and restart the iPad Pro. After restarting your iPad Pro, please turn Scribble back on and see if that helps. Here's how to perform each step:
Please keep us posted with the results.
Best regards.
How do I get upper case letters in Scribble?
