Chrome has been adding a multitude of new features in recent months, and while most of them are related to the topic of artificial intelligence, another function has just been discovered that a specific group of users will appreciate.
Right now Google is working in support for stylus handwriting in Chrome on Windowsthus allowing you to write directly in text fields with a stylus.
To make this possible, the Chrome browser will use the Handwriting API Text Services Framework (TSF) to recognize handwritten text and insert it into input fields.
“The Windows Text Services Framework (TSF) Shell Handwriting API is a feature that recognizes handwritten text in ink and incorporates it into input fields on Windows devices.”
According to the documents, we already know how this stylus writing feature works in Chrome on Windows.
For example, you’ll be able to write directly into editable text fields with your stylus. Chrome will then determine where you’re writing and send it to a tool for conversion. Finally, the converted text will appear in the text box.
Windows will process all of this internally and Chrome will receive the information about specific actions.
On the other hand, Chrome will also introduce a new HTML attribute to control handwriting support for specific elements.
This way, devices like Microsoft Surface, Lenovo Yoga, HP Spectre x360 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S when used with Windows will benefit from this feature.
That is, any Windows device that supports a stylus can end up using this new Chrome feature.
