google translate

#1
is anyone familiar with google translate?

I have installed translate in my new cell phone. in contrast to what I had before, this new one has a problem: when I do handwritten kanji, it takes the first stroke and moves it to the translate line. when I add the next stroke, it then adds both as an additional item to the translate line. it does so repeatedly up to the full kanji.

thus, instead of a single complete kanji in the translate line, I get a meaningless "stroke order" chain.

can that be fixed in the setting? is it a bug?

please help!

Doesn't seem to be doing that for me on either my smartphone or tablet.

It might be a thing with speed though.

JusenkyoGuide,

thanks. it was perfect also for me in my old phone.
I use several apps for recognizing handwritten kanji but google translate was the only one allowing several kanji. do you know by any chance another good app for multi kanji handwriting in the phone ?
thanks

If you can find the free copy of Aedict around anywhere, I highly recommend it. The paid version is pretty bad in it's design and layout. So glad I didn't upgrade! Anyway, you can OCR, or handwrite, or search kanji by radical and do multiple kanji look up on all of those.
