The technology is updating itself day by day with lots of amazing inventions. The smart wearable is the one among them. And, what’s new for the smartwatches in this era to make it more worthy and technologically strong? It’s Android Wear Keyboard. To jump out of one’s skin, the Redmond giant Microsoft has introduced an app for Android Wear based smartwatches.

It seems like Company is pushing itself to make applications which supports Google’s smartwatches, running on Android Wear, called Analog Keyboard. This App enables users to draw the text on the smartwatch screen which would be handwritten. As the user start drawing a letter or number, it will appear in the text box. User can also draw special characters and symbols over the screen like #, @, and smiley.

Using this Analog Keyboard app, Smartwatch user can send messages, e-mails and make search on Google without any difficulty. However, it needs the clear hand-written text to draw on screen. It also has the ability to auto-correct simple and frequently used words. Though, it takes some time to recognize the words which are needed to auto-correct.

This Android Wear keyboard app will work for square shaped smartwatches, having 320 x 320 pixels resolution. Moto 360 is also compatible for this keyboard. This is available as a prototype to download. This requires some awareness for Moto 360 users.

A keyboard app for smartwatches had also developed earlier by Software Outfits, called Minuum. But, its very small keys made users irritate and frustrate. Then, the voice powered texting came which is still in use, but also not be that pretty and easy to use for texting.
