If Google Translate wasn't already your go-to translation tool, the new handwriting deciphering feature may make you reconsider. That's right, Google Translate has taken its translation technology one step further by supporting handwritten translation in 45 languages (for now), including Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

“Handwriting input lets you translate a written expression, even if you don’t know how to type the characters,” Google wrote yesterday on its Translate blog. “For example, suppose you see the Chinese expression “饺子” and want to know its meaning in English, but have no idea how to type these characters. Using the new handwriting input tool, you can simply draw these characters on your screen and instantly see the translation.”
