# Welcome to Scriptation for iPad

Scriptation for iPad is the most full-featured way to use the app — built around touch and Apple Pencil for annotating, with iPadOS conveniences like Split View, Slide Over, and Scribble handwriting-to-text. Here's a quick orientation, plus links to the iPad-specific features worth knowing about.

### Three iPad features Scriptation makes the most of

**1. Apple Pencil — the ideal input method.**
Pressure-sensitive drawing, smooth handwriting, palm rejection, double-tap-to-switch-tools (on supported Pencil models). For annotating scripts, an Apple Pencil + iPad is the workflow Scriptation is built for. See [How do I use the Apple Pencil on iPad?](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/using-the-apple-pencil-on-ipad-vao8kb/).

**2. Scribble — handwriting to typed text.**
Write in any text field with your Apple Pencil and iPadOS converts it to typed text in real time. Useful for notes, text boxes, and any place you'd normally bring up the keyboard. See [How do I use Scribble on iPad?](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/using-scribble-on-ipad-vl9xrr/).

**3. Split View and Slide Over — multi-app workflow.**
Use Scriptation alongside other apps without leaving the script — script + side notes, script + breakdown software, script + cloud storage. See [How do I use Split View and Slide Over on iPad?](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/using-multitasking-the-3-dot-icon-at-the-top-for-split-view-and-slide-over-on-an-ipad-1cdjrr6/).

| ✅ TIP: Settings live in the **three-dot menu (⋯)** at the top right of the app — same path on iPad and Mac. If you're switching between iPad and a Mac, see [Welcome to Scriptation for Mac](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/welcome-to-scriptation-for-mac-uafvn/) for what's different.

### iPadOS compatibility

* [How do I make Scriptation the default PDF app on iPadOS 26?](https://help.scriptation.com/en/article/change-pdf-to-open-in-scriptation-by-default-on-ipados-26-i4ws8d/) — iPadOS 26 changed how the system handles PDFs; this is the current workaround.
