Kanji Draw
Kanji Draw is a tool created to help you practice your Japanese writing and improve your character
memorization skills. Stroke order is essential knowledge and needs to be known and
implemented from the very beginning.
Disclaimer
Please note that the focus of the application is stroke order rather than stroke accuracy. The
tool uses computer generated fonts to help you practice which aren't perfect. You are strongly
encouraged to seek out other accompanying resources to investigate character accuracy.
Modifications to your device's density and fonts may affect the proper functioning of this application.

or by disabling Test Mode in the settings.
Strokes are shown before your input helping you train and no error checking is performed on your attempts.

Statistics
The results generated from Test Mode are used for calculations of accuracy and score.
Scoring increases are subject to ranking ranges aimed at providing the user with a goal.
Accuracy is also taken into account when randomly selecting new characters. Kanjis that are more challenging to
you are shown more frequently to better train you.
Disabling
You can disable a Kanji through the pop-up menu in List View or via the menu in Canvas View.
Disabling a kanji removes it from the statistics and from possible character rotation.
Change your Study Set in settings to quickly disable multiple kanji and work with a specific level.
The statistics are retained when disabling a kanji.
