Google Can Now Translate Handwriting

Last year we brought handwriting input to Google Translate for Android. Earlier this year, we updated Google Input Tools on desktop by adding new virtual keyboards, input method editors, and transliteration input tools. Today, we take our input tools one step further, by bringing handwriting input to the Google Translate homepage.

 

Very cool stuff. Personally I would have liked a picture type of translation where I can hold up my phone and it'll read my hand writing then display it to be copied.

I'd think another change could be weather you mean a formal or informal way of words - such as in Spanish/French/most European/foreign languages you have two ways of saying you - "tu" or "usted". What I want the (in)formal instead of usted?  . . . .

I wonder if it can now translate the Japanese words in manga to an English script.

Well, I wouldn't say anything if something were to happen to this thread ;)
