Evernote for Android to receive handwriting support

We recently reported that Evernote had upgraded their servers with a new engine, which is expected to greatly increase the overall sync speed performance of its service. The company also stated that it is about to update all of its apps across the various platforms very soon. It seems that one of the new features might be the ability to store handwritten notes, as the beta version of the Evernote for Android has already received support for handwriting input.

Currently the feature allows you to write, draw, and scribble on your notes – it doesn't automatically recognize your input and transform it into typed text. It is not clear if Evernote plans to implement this beta feature as it currently is, or plans to evolve it into some kind of handwriting recognition.

In order to try out the beta version of Evernote for Android, you will have to be approved as an Evernote beta-tester. You can join the Evernote beta tester community and get  the necessary permissions, you can head on to Google Play and download the beta version of the popular app.
