I want to type with my Apple Pencil 2 by drawing where I can type. I’ve heard that “Scribble” setting can enable it.
At “Settings - Apple Pencil”
There is no “Scribble” Setting.
So how can I type by drawing with my Apple Pencil?
(For example on Safari Website Search Box. I click on the Search Box with Apple Pencil 2 and draw but It does not write or mark anything???)
Perhaps these are the resources that you are looking for - in particular the iPad User Guide and details of the Scribble feature:
Enter text with Scribble on iPad - Apple Support
Use Apple Pencil with your iPad - Apple Support
For full Apple Pencil and current Scribble language support, ensure that you have updated your iPad to iPadOS15.7.

Scribble has limited language support. If recollection serves correctly, supported are English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Chinese languages.
If you have an iPad set-up to use a different language, the Scribble feature will not be available in iPad Settings.
I’ve checked those.
iPadOS is 15.7 so up to date.
Why doesn’t It work?
Thanks Tom.
I add “English” to Keyboards.
Settings - Keyboards - Add New Keyboard - English
Now It works.
Thank you very all much for the answers.
Clearly you weren’t set-up for a language supported by Scribble. Now with a supported language loaded, all is well, and the issue is resolved. 🙂
