Einzigartig

Leider die einzige Tastatur dieser Art, funktioniert glücklicherweise auch auf iOS 26 noch recht gut. Besser als Apples eigenes "kritzeln"

I came back

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.

no longer working

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.

Not bad, but not perfect.

Make it compatible to use on other app rather than the native notes app😭

Doesn't work

I installed and followed the instructions but I just get the normal apple keyboard when I go to the test page in the app or in any other app. I switch between other 3rd party keyboards ok but this one won't come up at all.

개선되었으면 하는 점

지금도 너무 좋은 앱이지만 아이패드 가로모드에서 입력창을 작게 했을 때 엔터, 지우기, 스페이스바 등 아이콘이 그대로 유지되면 더욱 편하게 사용할 수 있을 듯 합니다!

Tastaur kann nicht ausgewählt werden

Auch wenn man den Anweisungen folgt, verschwindet die Tastatur jedesmal wenn Selvy Tastatur aufruft.

Echt schade. Wird es dafür ein bugfix bald geben?

"Allow Full Access?"

why would I allow full access when the warning clearly States that data, including credit card info, could be Shared with developers?

Bug ruins a great feature

This keyboard is really good; but I will never use it again if this one thing is not fixed.

Usually, I shrunken the default keyboard a small, floating keyboard and then change it to the Selvy Penscript keyboard.
It’s much more comfortable and convinient that way, taking up less space and positioned where my hand feels comfortable to write.
However, I came across this bug where the assets of the keyboard are completely gone; so with the Selvy Penscript, I could not use the spacebar, enter key, change keyboards/symbols…. I was trapped in a useless box keyboard and I just cannot live with this bug.
So please fix this bug, thank you

정말 잘 사용하고있어요!

정말 잘 사용하고 있어요. 아이패드 사용할때 키보드보다는 해랑 어플을 더많이 씁니다. 그래서 조금더 개선했으면 하는 부분이 몇가지 있습니다.
1. 플로팅 키보드 모드 - 분할 화면을 적용했을때 화면의 많은 부분을 패드가 차지하며 조금 아쉽습니다.
2. 추천단어 on/off - 이 또한 같은 이유에서 개선되었으면 합니다.
3. 단모음 - 한국어에서 많이 사용하는 단모음, 단자음 등을 못써서 아쉬워요.

No longer works. Abandoned?

Used to work ok, but no longer. Is it abandoned by the developer?

패드에서 너무 잘 쓰고 있어요

다만, 조금 아쉬운게
1. 한글 자음과 모음을 따로 쓸수있으면 좋겠어요.(별도 설정에 들어가서 설정 할 수 있으면 좋겠습니다.ㅋㅋㅋ ㅜㅜㅜ ㅠㅠㅠ 등 을 쓰고싶어요ㅜㅜ)
2. 자주 사용하는 단어나 문장을 단축키로 만들 수 있으면 좋겠어요.

그 외에는 너무 편하게 잘 쓰고있습니다~

Aradığım Uygulama

ipad almadan önce androiddeki google gboard uygulamasındaki karalama ile metin girme özelliği olmadığından dolayı tereddütlerim vardı. İpad aldım ama karalama ile metin girme özelliği olan uygulama ararken bu uygulamayı buldum ve çok sevindim. Çok işimi görüyor. İnternette hiçbir sitede bu konuda bilgi vermiyor.

좋아요!

더는 업데이트 안하는거 같지만 리뷰남깁니다!
글자 인식이 잘돼서 잘 쓰고 있어요.
키보드 플로팅모드에서 백스페이스, 엔터, 언어변경 등 옵션이 안뜨는건 세로 모드에서 키면 생기더라구요…! 가로 모드에서도 될 수 있게 수정해주시면 정말정말 감사할거같아요. 이거 빼고는 다 좋아요!
