User level: Level 1 (4 points)I can’t seem to get the Scribble feature on the pencil to work. It is turned on in settings, but my writing is not converting to text. In fact, the “ refine handwriting” in the drop down menu doesn’t work either. Am I not using these correctly? Is there any kind of tutorial for these?

Here a direct links to the relevant section of the Guide - and an associated Apple Support page:
