Technology Tip:
Search Google from Your Mobile Device with Your Handwriting
Search Google from Your Mobile Device with Your Handwriting
This article was reprinted from this LifeHacker article.
A new Google mobile search feature called Handwrite allows you to search Google using your handwriting rather than keyboard on your phone, tablet, or other touchscreen device.
You can see how it works in the video above. To enable it for your device:
Hit up google.com from your phone or tablet.
Click the Settings link at the bottom of the page. (On tablets, settings are in the top right corner of the page.)
Find and enable Handwrite in the settings.
Click Save and reload the page.
You should see a new Handwrite icon at the bottom right of the page. To start using it, just tap the icon and start tracing letters.
The first thing you'll notice trying it out is that it's really not for writing full words so much as a few letters at a time, or just getting started with your query. Google's autocomplete is good enough that you'll have a viable search in no time.
