Handwriting feature name on iPhone 6 similiar to S Pen on Samsungq

HI, was looking at purchasing either Iphone 6 or Samsung note... After looking other day I did notice a feature where you could physically write on the job on screen...very similiar to the S Pen on Samsung note..

i Can not find the name of this feature although the sales lady did confirm it but said ' yeah but it doesn't have a stylus unlike the note'

can anyone help me out and enlighten me on this feature plus the note as I would like to explore it further....

have had an iPhone before...the s pen won the Samsung for me but cannot get to grips with it aside of that and as I said I wish to explore this feature further.

Thanks.

iPad, iOS 6.1.4

As I said, there is no handwriting recognition feature built in to iOS. There are numerous third party apps that do offer the feature available in the App Store but I do not personally use any of them. A simple search in the App Store turns up over a dozen apps that offer some form of handwriting recognition. 7notes is only one such app.

There is no handwriting recognition feature built in to iOS. However, there are several note apps in the App Store that have handwriting and printing recognition. A quick search of the App Store will turn up a number of such note apps to choose from.

I Believe it may have been attached to the messaging service...I have seen it as I had a play on it in the store as it surprised me as I wasn't expecting to see it

and the sales assistant confirmed it was on there....just not with a stylus like the Samsung has...

is this one you refer too...?

OK thanks, I shall ask the lady again and see what she says this time and let you know

i Assumed whatever it was it was in competition with the s pen given the iPhone 6 is the rival to Samsung note.
