not even for practice (i get enough from class), just normal text conversations. if i want to use a slightly less common character its a pain in the ass. if i want to write 实 its easier to draw it on my input pad than text shi, scroll through every possible shi 5 at a time until i find the right one. and 实 isnt even that obscure。i dont want to think about how annoying 湜 would be.
this is sort of conditional on having a not shit phone. apple input pads are great. samsungs i dont like. my samsung knock off sometimes is 弱智 . . . . .
The problem is, I think handwriten input is kind of annoying and slow. Pinyin input is extremelely fast compared to it. Also, drawing with your finger on a small screen for handwritten input makes your characters look horrible even if the system recognizes it.
However, my experience is only limited to iPhone input. Don't really know how handwritten input is on other smartphones.
