Google is set to make all Chromebook devices that are equipped to work in conjunction with a stylus available with a brand new pre-loaded notepad app that is designed to make it easier than ever for users to go about writing, organizing, navigating and sharing their various notes.
This particular notepad app is simply dubbed 'Cursive' and is specifically intended to be used for the purpose of written notes, in contrast with apps that are designed for typed or dictated notes.
Although the 'Cursive' notepad app is set to be pre-installed in the future, the app is already available at present as a download. Upcoming features on future editions of this notepad app are set to include more intricate options to change color, typeface and thickness of strokes, according to Google.
