Mountain View's machine translation service does a
pretty good job of sussing out the meaning of copy / pasted text from around the web, but what if you need to translate something you
can't
put your cursor on? Google's got that covered too: handwriting input.
Users of the tool's mobile app have been able to manually write in
characters for some time now,
but the company has only recently implemented this feature on the
Google Translate website -- making it easy to input text that falls
outside outside of the standard standard roman character set. After
scrawling your best Kanji-replica
with a mouse, Google will offer users its best guess at the intended
characters, which, when selected, drop into the translate box. Of
course, don't blame Google if your writing illegibly sloppy. Check out
the company's
blog post
