Support for Apple Pencil Scribble handwriting recognition?

Anonymous User

Does Survey123 support the use of Apple's Scribble handwriting recognition in text boxes? It works great in popups in the current Field Maps Beta and Collector 20.2.4, but when I try to use an Apple Pencil w/ an iPad 8th gen on Survey123 v. 3.11.164 it doesn't trigger text recognition when I tap in a text box.

I've tried both single- and mulit-line text boxes with the same result (or lack thereof).

Hi @KatieRandall,

Unfortunately there are no updates at this stage, and the scribble feature on iOS is not supported. There are underlying dependancies in the Qt framework which need to be supported first, so the scribble feature can be used in Survey123. For more information see: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-90932

However the Apple Pencil will still work with Survey123 for touch input, scroll inputs, or text selections, just not for scribble handwriting inside a text field.

The original poster never logged an issue with Esri Support, so if you could, raise an issue with Esri Support so we can officially log this and have it attached to your account and you will be able to get updates based on the case number provided to you.

Regards,

Phil.

As this Question was closed as Solved, I would recommend people interested in this functionality add their kudos to the Survey123 Idea, Add Support for Apple Pencil in Survey123 for ArcGIS.

I am adding to this thread in hopes of adding additional support for adding the apple pen scribble function to Survey123. It's frustrating that it works in Field Maps but not in Survey123! Is there any update on this issue?

Thanks!

Can we have an update of when you think this functionality will be added to Survey123? Thanks.

It looks like the latest version of Field Maps allows for this. I'm not an expert but I just saw a demo and someone "wrote" the numbers 5 and 0 and 0 in a field and the iPad took it and converted it to numbers (500).

Thank you! I did that yesterday as well.

Was this ever resolved? I just purchased a new ipad to use in the field with an apple pencil and am experiencing the same issue.
