Apple Pencil?

I am graduating with my PhD, and looking to reward myself with a new big iPad Pro and maybe an Apple Pencil. Anyone have any experience working with these recently? Are there any plans to introduce any good integration? Note that the new pencil pro has some tricks to it that could be keyed to Logos commands…

    I'ver had the 2018 12.9" iPad Pro w/ Pencil Pro, then the 2021 M1 12.9" iPad Pro w/ Pencil Pro, and this week i got the new M4 13" iPad Pro w/ the new Pencil Pro 2.

    I can definitely tell you that the Logos app works extremely well on the large iPad Pro's. I'ver had no problems at all except my repeated request to Logos to allow for a larger font size in the app when reading resources, but i'm 68 and my eyes aren't what they used to be.

    As to the Pencil: It's ok, not particularly useable specifically for Logos, but excellent for marking up notes, pdf's and annotating things, but nothing particularly in Logos. I just got the new pencil pro 2 this week, and honestly have not had a chance to play with it yet. I'm hoping to find more uses for it than the older Pencil Pro.

    I have the iPad Pro 13-inch with M4 and the Apple Pencil Pro. First, the pencil works well as a simple pointing device. Second, you can use the Scribble feature which lets you write into dialog boxes or notes and it transcribes it to text. I and others I've talked to notice an improvment of iPadOS 17.5 and/or the Pencil Pro with accurate transcription. It just seems to work better.

    Also you can use Draw on the screen feature and attach your handwriting notes or drawings to a verse note.

    Be looking for a video from my website in the next week or so linked below in my sig.

    Clicking on your Theotek brings up my profile. It used to bring up Theotek.  Just mentioning.

    Thanks DMB. I fixed it!

    EDIT: I've tried to fix it twice now and the logos website won't make the change. Do you see my sig with only theotek.com or with kevinpurcell.org and theotek.com?

    Confirming your later thread ... no change. I changed mine earlier and it saved. Maybe the address or something?

    I think the forum is now messing with adding links to text. Yesterday, I was trying to link to a word and I couldn't, no matter how many times I tried. I eventually had to just drop the raw link.
