Scribble not supporting capitalization on iPad

When I write in title case, I'm automatically being changed to lower case (sentence structure). Then I have go and tap on and change them to the way I want. I have turned off auto-capitalization & predictive text.


Shouldn't this just do what I write.

If you're experiencing issues with Scribble not recognizing capital letters on your iPad, consider the following steps to improve its accuracy:


Write Clearly in Print: Scribble tends to interpret printed handwriting more accurately than cursive. Ensure that your uppercase letters are distinctly formed to help Scribble differentiate them from lowercase letters.


Restart Scribble: Temporarily disable Scribble by navigating to Settings > Apple Pencil and turning off the Scribble toggle. Restart your iPad, then re-enable Scribble. This can resolve minor glitches affecting its functionality.


Check Language Settings: Scribble supports specific languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Chinese. Ensure that your iPad's language settings are compatible by going to Settings > General > Language & Region.


Update iPadOS: Keeping your device updated can fix known issues. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to check for and install any available updates.


Provide Feedback to Apple: If the issue persists, consider providing feedback to Apple, as user reports can help improve future updates.


By following these steps, you should see an improvement in Scribble's ability to recognize capital letters.
