Softonic’s App of the Week highlights some of the coolest, most unique, and popular apps that have been released for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac. This week we are looking at Google Handwriting Input, the handwriting recognition app that is good enough to recognize even my penmanship.
Letting you use your finger or any implement recognized by a touch screen, this inelegantly named input tool allows you write naturally onscreen and then magically transforms it into legible text. Drawing on Google’s huge number of users, and its experience digitizing books, its accuracy is impressive – especially considering it can recognize 82 languages and emojis.
With a great user interface and gesture-based controls, Google Handwriting Input is the best option out there for those looking for a more traditional method of writing on their Android device.
