Handwriting recognition appears on the Chrome OS soft keyboard

According to Netizen Robb Weeks and François Beaufort revealed that Google's Chrome OS's soft keyboard now has a more than one handwriting input option.

Robb weeks first discovered this feature in the Chrome Canary Edition (Canary Channel). The Canary version is a special version of Chrome, like the developer version, but Google updates its functionality every day, so the version number is higher than the developer version. Robb7 15th, found on its own C720, Chrome's soft keyboard adds a handwriting recognition option. as follows:

Then July 16 François Beaufort also disclosed that the developer version provides similar functionality. The user simply chooses handwriting recognition in the input tool, and then it is ready for handwriting. However, since this feature is implemented using the Google Input Tools API, it must be connected to the Internet.

I interviewed in the Chrome browser, the recognition rate is also OK, that is a bit slow reaction (perhaps the API to the background processing). But with the mouse toss handwriting function is obviously not practical. The ideal place for handwriting should be a tablet with a touch screen. In this regard, does the introduction of handwriting recognition mean that the Chrome OS tablet computer is approaching?

Although Google supports input from multiple languages, not all languages support handwriting, and of course Chinese handwriting is supported.
