User Reviews

Selvy PenScript is highly praised for accurate, fast handwriting recognition and strong multilingual support, plus a productive handwriting-to-text experience with Apple Pencil and useful features like adjustable recognition delay and Markdown support. However, many reviews note stability and compatibility problems across devices/OS versions, as well as UI/UX issues with the floating keyboard and activation glitches where the keyboard won’t appear. When it runs smoothly, it’s a powerful alternative to Scribble, but reliability varies by device.

Pros

Accurate and fast handwriting recognition, often outperforming competitors even with sloppy handwriting.
Broad language support with easy switching between many languages (e.g., Korean, Arabic, Japanese).
Handwriting-to-text input that works well with Apple Pencil, boosting productivity by reducing typing effort.
Customizable features such as adjustable recognition delay and support for punctuation/Markdown tags, plus the system’s learning over time.

Cons

Significant compatibility and stability issues across devices/OS versions (e.g., iPad Mini 6, iPhone 12 Pro Max, older iOS, and various setup failures).
Floating keyboard/UI problems: missing buttons, layout issues in floating mode, and a small writing area that makes wrist resting uncomfortable.
Activation/keyboard integration glitches: sometimes the Selvy keyboard does not appear and the app reverts to the native Apple keyboard in tests or other apps.
Occasional recognition failures or inconsistent performance reported by some users.

Recent reviews

I have sloppy cursive writing and used this for a while on my iPhone and got away from it because I didn’t have a convenient stylus set up with latest iPhone. It recognizes my writing accurately and quickly better than any competitor app.

On my ipad mini 6 the only language that is available when using keyboard is Japanese. In settings you can add all the languages but when the keyboard only shows Japanese. No way to change language as it stands this app is useless to me. I want to use Korean.
