Love taking handwritten notes? Wished you could convert them to text for your report or for sharing? Using your iPad, you can. Here\u2019s how to copy and paste handwritten text from the Notes app<\/a> as typed text.<\/p>\n

Handwritten notes on the iPad are not a new thing. But starting in iPadOS 14, your iPad finally got smart enough to convert the handwritten notes into typed text. Not only can your iPad do this on the fly (you can write in any text field using the Apple Pencil), you can select and convert any handwritten notes from the Notes app (even ones you took before the iPadOS 14 update).<\/p>\n

This feature works with all iPads and iPad Pros that support the Apple Pencil (all generations).\u00a0To get started, open the \u201cNotes\u201d app on your iPad.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have any handwritten notes, you can get started quite easily. From a new note, tap the \u201cPencil\u201d icon from the top toolbar to open the \u201cPencil\u201d options.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

From here, choose the \u201cPen\u201d option.<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n

You can now start writing on the iPad\u2019s screen. Keep writing for as long as you want. You can scroll using your finger.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re done and you want to select text, you\u2019ll have to switch from your Apple Pencil to your fingers.<\/p>\n

To quickly select a word, simply double-tap it.<\/p>\n

\"Double<\/p>\n

This will highlight the handwriting and you\u2019ll see a selection point. Simply drag it to select more text.<\/p>\n

\"Drag<\/p>\n

Alternatively, if all that you have in this note is handwritten text and you want to select it all, tap and hold in an empty part of the note and choose the \u201cSelect All\u201d option.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

Now, tap the selected text to reveal options.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

From here, choose the \u201cCopy As Text\u201d option.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

Your iPad will now convert the handwritten text to typed text, and it will be added to your clipboard.<\/p>\n

You can now go to any app or text field to paste this. When you get to the text field, double-tap in an empty space and choose the \u201cPaste\u201d option.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll see that your handwritten text will now be pasted as typed text.<\/p>\n
