The latest iteration of the renowned kanji learning app has introduced advanced features for assessing "stroke order" and "number of strokes." This app, which has achieved the top position in the App Store's paid education apps for iPad and boasts over 460,000 downloads, has significantly enhanced its educational offerings.

Utilizing authentic textbook-style fonts for precise stroke recognition, this app serves as a comprehensive resource for mastering all 80 kanji characters taught in the first grade of elementary school.

Users can practice kanji and their readings by writing directly on the screen. The app employs advanced recognition technology to evaluate the user's input. In the drilling exercise, even correct kanji will not receive a pass unless written with the appropriate stroke order. The kanji practice interface actively informs users of any mistakes in stroke order or stroke count, ensuring a high-quality learning experience unlike any other.

Drill/Feature Overview:

• Writing Drill: Users can practice writing kanji on-screen. Correct evaluation is only given when written in the proper stroke order and with the correct number of strokes.
• Reading Drill: This drill focuses on writing the readings of kanji, presenting both on’yomi and kun’yomi questions sequentially.
• Practice: Users can review stroke orders and practice writing kanji repeatedly according to model examples. Up to ten instances of self-written characters can be saved per kanji. Completing ten repetitions earns users a small medal, allowing them to create a personal roster filled with their characters and medals.
• Score Report: Displays scores, count, date, and accuracy rates from various drills, highlighting incorrectly answered kanji and readings for focused review.
• "Challenge Test" Feature: Available in both writing and reading drills, this mode presents 20 random questions to reinforce memory retention.

Stroke Order and Stroke Count Assessment:

• If both stroke order and number of strokes are incorrect, the feedback will prioritize displaying the errors related to stroke count.
• The app may fail to deliver accurate assessments if significantly erroneous characters are written or if strokes extend beyond designated areas on the screen.
• The app does not assess specific elements of strokes such as "hane" or "tome," nor does it evaluate the stroke order for hiragana.
