handwriting converting to text

Suddenly, my iPad keeps converting my handwriting to text and its getting frustrating, because I don't know how to get it off. I updated it thinking it would solve the problem, but it didn't. and at this point I don't know what else to do.

Does anyone know how to get it off?

Perhaps you are using an Apple Pencil - and have enabled Scribble?


Enter text with Scribble on iPad - Apple Support


You can easily disable Scribble from iPad Settings:

Settings > Apple Pencil > Scribble - set to OFF
