Handwiting

Has anyone found how to use the handwriting input in the Hauwei keyboard settings?

Hi,
Same question for me!

Thanks for your help.

It's quite easy to use. On your keyboard on the bottom left you'll see something that looks like a touchpad. Click there. Just use english block letters in the input area. It also accepts chinese input as well. I've had a lot of fun with it. Use the stylus as doing it without is a pain in the arse. I've found other keyboards that are faster personally but it's a neat little feature. Though I think it's geared more toward pictoral writing and not english.

I did not like the handwriting recognition in the huawei keyboard. Grafitti works better for me (years of practice in Palm pdas.)

The bottom left of my Hauwei keyboard has a "minimize keyboard" button.
No selection available in the keyboard settings.

Hit the EN icon with the gear. It'll switch.

That button changes the output to chinese or something. If I hold it, then I get a shortcut to keyboard settings.

not sure what keyboard phoenix is using..................... but i have tried the huawei keyboard and there is no button in bottom left except the minimize button. Even changing to the android keyboard there is no handwriting button, but there is voice input , but you must be connected to the internet for voice input.

bottom left where you see en...tap it until handwriting input shows up as shown below

It does whatever languages you have installed...if it doesn't come up see my reply to enable

Well I'll be dipped. I sure wouldn't have thought of handwriting as a language choice. Good job, phoenixrising. Thanks.

I followed what's said, selected handwriting, and still am unable to get handwriting input. The keyboard button remains keyboard only. I am running the Norwegian rom. Do i need to load something else?

When I input handwriting, the output is in Chinese. I have made sure all settings are english only and rebooted with no affect. Ideas?

Thanks phoenix, that did it. Never would have looked in input languages because it was already set to english.

tested and writes in english, not sure why yours isn't.

Finally got it. I didn't read the instructions clearly, and had tried to use the keyboard to switch to handwriting. Now understand it's the same en key, and it works well. Looks like I can remove cantonese input app.
