Search Google with your handwriting- for mobile devices

Because typing is so…yesterday! Yes Google updated their mobile search engine so it can recognize writing on the screen to do a search. It works pretty well too! All that you need to do is start writing on the screen and your text will be recognized and converted to text in the search bar. This works on all mobile devices and you will need to enable this for it to work and here’s how to do it.

1. Open your mobile browser and point it to the Google home page.

2. Go to the Settings or gear icon and open Search Settings.

3. Scroll down to “Handwriting” and Enable it then scroll down and Save.

4. Refresh the tab or you can close the app (if you do make sure to kill it from multitasking) then you can start writing.
