Hi all,
Im having a heck of a time trying to acclimate to using the Apple Pencil with my iPad Pro (M1). At first there was alot of "hunt and peck", "hunt for answers", and a bit of "I'll get it/learn it as I using it". Nevertheless there still quite a few pencil quirks I can't seem to learn, mainly entering "Title Case" with scribble. No matter how precise I try and draw a capital letter for any of the following words, I can only capitalize the first word? Now thats a common case for writing text— BUT its not if listing song titles, bibliographies, etc—its a PITA.

Could anyone point me to some solutions? (the  'knowledge base' is far too basic.) or even any good in depth tutorials for utilizing the pencil for text instead of drawing? (I feel like  is missing an opportunity for those who use the iPad as a "document creator")

At the bare minimum  needs to add "Title Case" to the text selectable options. Or better to match the macOS a "Transform" text option (Uppercase/Lowercase/Capitalize) Why is this not a standard option across the iOS and apps?

thanks for any help

I found an answer to writing titlecase with the Pencil online few weeks ago... (to paraphrase):
"Draw the 1st Capital letter with a slight pause (about .5–1sec), then continue to complete the word, pause start next word in same manner to complete the Title"

worked for me.
