Handwriting reaches Google searches
Since a couple of days the Google search engine has been a bit more complete and practical for our devices, both smartphones and tablets And it is that Its search engine page has introduced the possibility of write freehand what you want to search for, as if on a paper in question. A function that is especially useful for users of portable devices, when we do not have two hands to writeor we don't want to use the keyboard.
The Touch Typing function, as it has been called by those at Google , it has been inserted in the web page, in this way we can use it from any platform through the web browser, whatever the operating system. Of course, first it is necessary to enable this option. To do this, from the main search page of Google we access the menu Settings at the bottom bottom of it. Here we look for the section Touch writing and select the option Enable We can't forget to go down to the configuration page and press the Save button, otherwise we won't have achieved anything.
After this, it is possible to start typing to search in GoogleThus, we see that a new toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen. This includes various options for the function Tactile writing From left to right we see that there is a button with the question mark Pressing it accesses a easy tutorial that teaches the user how to use this function. We also see a space bar to separate the search terms we type, a delete button and the button that enables and disables this function
Thus, if the Touch writing bar appears at the bottom, you just have to slide your finger anywhere on the screen screen. With this we see how the strokes are transformed into words in the search bar. It is recommended to write just a few letters of the term we want to search for and use the search engine suggestions, especially because in some devices, such as smartphones, the screen can be short to redact all search terms.In this way, using the touch typing function and the search suggestions function, we can find what we are looking for with just the use of a finger while we are walking or when we cannot focus on pressing the exact key on the touch keyboard of our device.
Although it is fair to say that it is not a function that is too practical And it is that the impossibility of writing all search terms or use the search suggestions of Google do nothing more than add steps in the search sequence However, it can be very useful in specific moments, when ahas been developed good technique to use this function or if you have a touch pen
In short, a function that is worth being able to use although it will not revolutionize the Google search systemThe good news is that you don't need to download or update any applications. You just have to do the setupdescribed above and start writing with our finger on the screen as if it were a pencil and paper
