Mishaal Rahman's latest post sheds light on the tablet's integration of the USI 2.0 stylus. Upon connecting the USI 2.0 stylus pen to the tablet, users gain access to two novel options: "Default Notes App" and "Write in Text Field." Delving into the specifics of these options reveals compelling functionalities:
By selecting the "Write in Text Field" option, your fluid handwritten inputs undergo a seamless transformation into text format within the device. This text can subsequently be modified or removed as needed.
For a hands-on experience of Gboard's innovative stylus handwriting gestures, users can initiate the "try it" function. This interface facilitates experimentation with a range of stylus-based actions, encompassing writing, deletion, selection, insertion, word amalgamation, and line creation.
It's important to note that certain elements of these features are currently non-functional, including Gboard's nascent stylus capabilities. This could potentially be attributed to the tablet's Android version not aligning with the requirements. Notably, reports have recently emerged highlighting Android 14's enhancements in keyboard and stylus integration, which may offer insights into the pending functionalities.
Anticipation builds as we await updates on whether these cutting-edge features will be incorporated in the forthcoming Google Pixel Tablet update, paving the way for an enriched user experience.
