Apple's AI on iPad can learn your handwriting through the integration of Apple Intelligence and the use of advanced machine learning models. This technology is deeply embedded in the system and leverages the power of Apple Silicon to run these tasks on-device, ensuring low latency and better user experience while maintaining privacy.

The handwriting recognition feature is part of a broader set of tools that includes writing tools, which help users rewrite, proofread, and summarize text. These tools are automatically available in apps that use standard UI frameworks to render text fields. Additionally, the new textview delegate API allows developers to customize how their apps behave while writing tools are active.

For more details on how Apple Intelligence processes text and integrates with system text and web views, you can refer to the Platforms State of the Union session.
