Google has launched Handwriting Input Keyboard app that supports 82 languages and 20 distinct scripts. As the name suggests, the app lets you handwrite text on your Android phone or tablet without the use of a stylus.
The keyboard works with both print and cursive handwriting. In addition, it includes hand drawn emoji support that will allow you to express even better. User will simply have to press and hold the ‘enter’ button to switch modes from text to emoji. Google Handwriting Input works with or without an Internet connection. The Handwriting input app works on any Android phone or tablet running version 4.0.3 or higher. Google already offers touchscreen typing and voice input mode.
“Google Handwriting Input supports languages that can be challenging to type on a virtual keyboard. For example, keyboards for ideographic languages (such as Chinese) are often based on a particular dialect of the language, but if a user does not know that dialect, they may be hard to use. Additionally, keyboards for complex script languages (like many South Asian languages) are less standardized and may be unfamiliar. Even for languages where virtual keyboards are more widely used (like English or Spanish), some users find that handwriting is more intuitive, faster, and generally more comfortable.”
