Hi, i recently purchased an ipad 8 and the apple pencil 1. I know that the iPadOS 14 has the scribble function for the apple oen il that converts handwriting to text, and i can’t find anywhere that this is only the case for apple pen 2 or an ipad air/pro. However, i dont have this feature on my ipad. Does it have to do with my ipad or is this function only for apple pen 2?

The scribble feature works with any version Pencil with any iPad compatible with iPadOS 14.
Your iPad 8th gen should be already running iPadOS 14.
Make sure the scribble feature is activated for your Pencil by going into the Settings app, Apple Pencil settings panel and toggle ON the scribble feature/function.

The new Scribble feature was introduced in iPadOS14. Ensure that you have updated to the latest version, this being iPadOS 14.4.
Thank you for the answers! I realized that it is about language. My iPad was language was Dutch while it has to be either English or Chinese to support scribble. My bad😅
Have you enabled Scribble in settings?
Settings > Apple Pencil > Scribble - set to ON
A forced-restart of your iPad may be beneficial - as this will often resolve an isolated software issue:
Yes, that does make a difference!
Having posted your question in English - and not mentioning that English is not your first language - it was reasonable to assume that you were using an iPad configured for English Language.
Good to learn that your problem has now been resolved.
I do have ipadOS 14.4 :(
Yes that is the thing, when i go to the apple pencil settings, i dont have the option to turn on scribble. Only the “only draw with apple pencil” option.
