Google releases Handwriting app for Android

If not having an official Android handwriting app was holding you back from getting a stylus, now you can get that stylus you've been eyeing. Google just unveiled its Google Handwriting Input app. The keyboard plugin takes the place of your keyboard if you feel like using your digits to input text or even emojis. It's compatible with Android smartphones and tablets and can be used with or without a stylus. It can recognize both cursive and print handwriting and supports 82 languages and 20 distinct scripts. It's compatible with Android 4.0.3 and above and available for free download.
