Hey, I bought a gen2 pencil and connected it to my iPad pro 12 in gen 3. I am trying to figure out how to convert handwriting to typed text. Explainer articles by Apple say I need to select pencil A in the markup tool in Notes. I dont have pencil A unfortunately. I tried doing that on my partner's iPad that is compatible with the pencil and same story. What am I doing wrong? Ipad is iOS 14
iPad Pro, iPadOS 13
