The latest developer beta version of iPadOS adds new language support for the iPad's handwriting feature, which means more users can get more out of the Apple Pencil. The languages supported include Canadian French, Italian, Portuguese, French, German, and Spanish.
Through the beta, you can now use Scribble to write in any text field using these languages. It also supports Smart Selection, meaning you can easily select, cut, and paste words from one document to another and have your written note appear as typed text. And the iPad's data detectors will also now work with handwritten text in these languages so the system can recognize things like phone numbers, dates, and addresses and make it easier to do quick action with these pieces of information.
