Continuing with a batch of Google Android app updates today, like Google+ and Google Music,
Google’s Gesture Search app also received a major update. The new
version adds support for 40+ languages, although no list of exactly
which languages are now supported is readily available. The app lets
users draw letters or numbers on the screen and as they do so, the app
starts searching through contacts, bookmarks, music, and other
information to help the user find the information for which they are
searching. With the addition of new languages, users can now write in
their native language. This includes languages like Chinese and their
extensive characters. Google indicates the app supports the entry of
Pinyin initials to find results in traditional Chinese. Gesture Search
also supports transliteration between all of the supported languages so a
search written out in one language should yield results from other
languages.
If you want to check out the free app, you can download it using one
of the apps below. You may find it to be a useful way to conduct a
device-wide search.
