Google Translate just added handwriting recognition. I feel it works well what do you think?

Where do I find this option?

I'm also not seeing it on my version of the site... maybe it's not pushed out to all regions yet (I load from Spain).

I would find it most useful in the mobile app version for iPhone, but it hasn't shown up as an update yet.

well, you can already get handwriting recognition on the iphone when writing normally. so why would you need it?

It's in the native android app. I guess it's not on the web or iPod version yet.

Kawe how do you do native handwriting in the iPhone?

Settings - General - Keyboard - International Keyboards - Chinese Simplified/Traditional Handwriting

Then click the globe icon on your keyboard input and it will switch to a area where you can draw characters, guesses are presented in a column to choose from as you fill in more strokes.

I've found the native recognition a bit slow to use but in theory it's good, and has been useful for looking up stuff on the go. Handwriting is also useful in the Pleco app.

Ah, I think the iPod handwriting recognition is only for Chinese.

Kawe,
I never tried it before, but did just now, and yes, you are right, Google works on my iPhone with characters input via handwriting recognition with the native Apple keyboard, international and Chinese options selected.
