Google wants to make it as easy as possible for you to use its search engine.Google Handwrite is here: the search engine's mobile pages will now let you draw letters on the page to conduct searches with the writing method you learned before this whole computer fad took hold. There's no special plugin required it's just the flick of a settings switch.
"Say you’re standing on a busy street corner, in a bumpy taxi ride, talking with a friend, or sitting on the couch with your tablet," the company said in a blog post Thursday. "Handwrite enables you to search by just writing letters with your finger most anywhere on your device’s screen—there’s no keyboard that covers half of the screen and no need for hunt-and-peck typing."
Check out the demo video of the Handwrite feature for web search:
Handwrite only works on Google's mobile site when using Android phones running Android 2.3 or later, Android tablets running Android 4.0 or later, and Apple devices running iOS 5. To turn it on you have to go to www.google.com on your phone or tablet, go to "Settings" at the bottom of the page, and enable it.
