Lately, there are more practical ways for you to input information on your smaller screens, especially when it comes to Google products. Not only has  for Android been recently released, but now you can scribble on your touchscreen for whatever it is you're looking for on the Google Search Engine.

Google has now enabled a small button on the bottom right corner of your touchscreen for you to scribble block letters or cursive writing. As you go on scribbling, the autocomplete feature will be changing according to what you have written; then you can select the best option or the closest one to what you wrote.

TechCrunch says that "The new feature will work on iOS5+ devices, as well as Android 2.3+ phones and Android 4.0 tablets."  Be that as it may, the new handwriting feature will not replace keyboard input. It will only make it easier for you to look for something while you're holding a cup of coffee or are busy with other activities.

In order for you to use it, you first need to enable the handwriting option on your device's Google preferences. Once you do, you'll notice a small button on the bottom right corner, once you click on it, scribble away!
