Add words to Pencil dictionary?

How do I get the pencil to underspend new words? It's not usable while ever it changes technical words into something completely different? I've tried writing clearly in capital letters and even then it changes the spelling to a word it thinks it should be :(

iPad Air, iPadOS 14

Hi newuserabc,


Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it seems like technical words are being changed to different words. One thing you can do is to use text replacement for those words so the iPad can recognize the word should be and either change it or stay the way it is. Take a look at the "Set up custom text replacements" section in the second article.
