Hi! The original Detexify has helped me a great deal, and I am a donor (twice!). Thank you for Detexify!

Today I wasn't near a computer and needed to lookup the name of a symbol in a book i was reading. I decided to visit Detexify on my android phone.

I see that the original Detexify doesn't work, because "This canvas is fubar". (That made me smile.)

I thought sketch-a-char might work, but it apparently doesn't play nice on Android yet, either.

So here's my feature request! Please consider making sketch-a-char work on Android, if possible. Or perhaps someone would like to make a front-end Android app that would submit bitmap drawings to the recognition server. So i guess I would also request an API for making such a front-end possible.

Just ideas! I know you are probably super busy. I just wanted to demonstrate that there is interest in this.

This would indeed by nice. I don't know if sketch-a-char is still being developed, is it?
