In a supported text field, use the globe key to choose your keyboard. Swipe is ready for typing. For Ink, complete the model download first, then turn Full Access off and write with Apple Pencil.
Before you download
Can I use these in Notes, messages, and other apps?
They work in supported text fields where iOS allows third-party keyboards. Password fields and apps that disable custom keyboards use Apple’s keyboard. Persian Ink does not convert existing Notes drawings, photos, or PDFs.
Do I need Apple Pencil for Persian Swipe?
No. Persian Swipe uses your finger on iPhone or iPad. Persian Ink’s handwriting workflow requires an iPad and a compatible Apple Pencil.
How does offline handwriting work?
Persian Ink downloads its Persian recognition model once, while online with Full Access temporarily enabled. After setup, turn Full Access off. Handwriting recognition runs on your iPad; accuracy varies with handwriting. Google ML Kit may send operational metrics when network access is available.
Do I have to subscribe or buy both apps?
No. Each app is a separate US$1.99 one-time purchase in the US storefront. Choose the one that fits your device and writing style. There is no subscription; local prices and availability are shown by Apple.
