Does Android internally use Skia for drawing text on bitmaps?

I am dealing with an application which has to rapidly draw text on bitmaps. I've pretty much optimized the memory usage of the rendering process but I still want the process to be as fast as possible and that's when I learned about the Skia library which some people say it can provide superior performance compared to native Android canvas. After some googling, I heard that Android already uses Skia for UI rendering and I am wondering if I will gain any performance if I start using Skia to render text on bitmaps instead of using Android canvas ?
