I’ve seen a couple of videos showing that you can paste typed text in your own “refined” handwriting. I have not been able to figure out how it works. According to Apple it is supposed to be available on the iPad mini 6 which I’m using. Anyone have any luck with this?
Got a tip for us?

Notes paste as handwriting doesn’t seem to work

It works for me, but it seems only on notes that I‘ve already used the Apple Pencil to write notes on. Incidentally I’m using the 18.1 Beta with Apple Intelligence.
Try opening and new note and write something with the Apple Pencil (also make sure the ’auto refine handwriting is united on). Then find the text you want, copy it, press and hold with the Pencil on the note, the ’paste’ option will come up - hit paste and it should copy In your handwriting 👍🏼

Yeah that was the trick. You don’t get the insertion cursor unless you long press next to a handwritten letter. It took me several hours to figure this out. I wonder why Apple put in this limitation?
