Handwriting Keyboard2.7 - App Store

Write by hand. Type in your apps.

Handwriting Keyboard lets you enter text with your finger or Apple Pencil in apps such as Messages, Mail, Safari, and Notes.

Recognition runs entirely on your device, so the keyboard works offline. Full Access is not required. Your input is not transmitted, and the app does not collect data.

IMPORTANT - SUPPORTED LANGUAGES

Handwriting recognition supports U.S. English and Japanese only. Other languages, including British English, are not supported.

HOW TO GET STARTED

1. Open the Handwriting Keyboard app and tap “Open Settings.”
2. Tap “Keyboards,” then enable English (US), Japanese, or both. Full Access is not required.
3. In a text field, touch and hold the keyboard switch key, then select Handwriting.

When entering a password, iOS automatically switches to the system keyboard.

If text is duplicated or does not appear correctly in an app with a custom text field, turn off Inline Input in Handwriting Keyboard settings.
