Description

Chinese characters can be entered through handwriting recognition with a desktop IME interface. It is useful for users who know how to write characters but do not want to type them through a phonetic input method.

The package is powered by Google Translate and may send handwriting input to online services. Avoid entering private or sensitive text if the privacy model is not acceptable.
