Google Adds Handwriting Support To Gmail And Google Docs
Google is bringing one of its popular and coolest feature to Gmail and Google Docs. The search engine giant is adding handwriting feature which will enable users to hand write their emails and documents using their computer mouse or trackpad. Both Gmail and Google Docs within Drive will allow users to draw single or multiple characters using a mouse cursor or their finger on a trackpad.
Google said that Gmail will offer handwriting support for 50 languages while Google Docs will offer support for 20 languages, however Hindi is the only Indian language supported at the moment. After selecting desired input language the user will see a pencil icon above the text-entry area, which will switch input into handwriting mode allowing characters to be drawn onto the screen.
“Handwriting input makes the internet easier to use by people worldwide and is also part of a larger effort to break the barrier between languages,” Google product manager Xiangye Xiao said in a company blog post. The handwriting feature allows you to write several characters at once, especially useful for languages such as Chinese, Hindi and Japanese. Handwriting input can also be applied to Google Mobile Search and Chrome.
The update comes as part of a long-running series of changes that Google has been implementing to support handwriting. Google Translate began supporting handwriting input for 45 languages in July. Also, in August it updates Google Translate for Android with Hindi support.
