Hey guys, recently purchased an ipad to increase my reading options, and bought a pencil as an afterthought to help get in the habit of writing more while I’m at it. I was mucking around with an app called kaku when using scribble/the pencil, I don’t get predictive text like I would if it was a keyboard.
(See bottom left corner)
However, I spoke to the dev and they have the exact same setup but have predictive text when using scribble/the pencil as the input (posted with their permission).
I’ve also checked to make sure it’s not a landscape only feature, predictive is absolutely enabled along with everything else… and clearly I am the idiot missing something
Have you tried tapping on the hiragana あ in the bar in the bottom right? That seems to be the part of the bar that has focus in in the second screenshot. I am absolutely guessing here.
This is almost definitely a stupid question: You do have a Japanese keyboard installed don’t you? As I’m pretty sure that it’s the keyboard that shows you the predicted text.
I tried, same issue. The only time I got the predictive suggestion was with the full keyboard enabled (not like the screenshot above). I’m not sure what this app is for exactly, I deleted it as it appear to have an auto paid subscription.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tablet with a pen. There are several different Japanese keyboards that can be used:
When I use the handwriting it expects handwriting as a Japanese would write i.e.
if you write kanji, the predictions are for kanji (but you have to write rather fast - if you are not fast enough, you will get 禾 when you try to write 利)
if you write hiragana, the predictions are hiragana only:
