Google Translate


I found this neat thing on Google Translate.  It's good for people like me who can read hiragana, but might not necessarily know what it means.  I was trying to figure out for my sister what the ingredients were in this bag of rice.  I didn't know what "toumorokoshi" was.

rice

So I went to Google Translate.  I discovered a handwriting tool!



Update:  It works with kanji too!!

Hey Anon, where do I find it?

Susan, try look now. I didn't realize that my video on Flickr wouldn't work on iPads or iPhones. I have it linked to YouTube now.

I think this is it. I have a Samsung note 2 and galaxy Tab so mine is for android. I wonder if it can be loaded to a computer?
when I was in Japan, it was really great trying to find that inkstone and brush.
