At IBM we used their relabelled Palm Pilot, the IBM Workpad. I’m looking forward to a much more sophisticated feature like Scribble once they get it running well and app developers start adapting it. I’m not clear on whether Apple is making Scribble work in all apps or if the developers have to code it into their apps. Hopefully the former as the latter will take longer to see it appear and be way more problematic.

The former. I tried it on Marvin Classic (circa 2016) and it works as an alternative to keyboard input. Just write on any text box and iPadOS 14 will convert it to normal text.
Finished my online training and made extensive use of Scribble. There were some off words here and there but it really handled my chicken scratch a whole lot better than I expected it to. Plus editing and copying my notes afterwards is a lot easier.
I had a Windows Vista convertible and that had pretty decent handwriting recognition. That was one feature I’ve wanted on iPads ever since Apple introduced the Pencil and I’m glad to see Scribble works even better.
