Good
news for Google Android smartphone users.
Google
now accepts your handwriting as an input method in Google Android smartphones as
reported in the article “Google
launches handwriting app in 82 languages for Android devices”, published
April 16, 2015, BBC News.

This
is via the new Google
Handwriting Input App, which accepts some eighty two (82) languages as
stated in the article “Google's
new handwriting app wants you to scribble on-screen”, published April 16,
2015 by Don Reisinger, CNET News.

The
new app that's now on the Google
Play Store was announced on Wednesday April 15th 2015 in a Press
Release on the Google Research blog in a post entitled “Google
Handwriting Input in 82 languages on your Android mobile device”, published
Wednesday, April 15, 2015, Google
Research Blog.
The
app requires Google Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich and up in order to work on
your smartphone, so you're in luck if your smartphone or tablet runs either of
these OS's as noted in the article “Google’s
new Handwriting app can read your chicken scratch and turn it into text”,

The Google Handwriting Input App is definitely worth the time to download, as it add
yet another means of input for your smartphone other than Voice commands and
swiping using apps such as Swiftlkey as noted in my blog article
entitled “@SwiftKey
for Apple iPhone and Apple iPad on Apple iTunes – Why Full Access for
Predictive Typing compromises Apple iOS 8 Security”.
And
yes, it does support emojis a well, able to recognize when you're drawing an
emoji as noted in “Google
releases a new handwriting app for Android”, published April 15, 2015 By
Micah Singletonm, the Verge.
So
when will this be coming to the Apple iPhone? We'll just have to wait and
see.....
