A SMALL GUIDE

Make a little room for practice.

  1. Add English words or phrases from school.
  2. Review the Mandarin suggestions. Choose the intended meaning or enter the teacher’s exact characters.
  3. Watch the stroke animation, then start a shuffled practice round. The character is hidden until you write it.
  4. Write the whole character, then tap “Check character.” The first stroke gives a starting estimate; checking the whole character adjusts its position and size again. Only clearly unrelated strokes interrupt you. After checking, red marks strokes to improve and green shows the expected stroke. Tap each feedback item to see it, then retry or continue.

The checker compares the finished character’s stroke shape, direction, relative position, and order with generous tolerance. Start where it feels comfortable and choose your own size; leave room for the rest of the character. Learning strokes mode focuses on basic stroke shapes, direction, and order, with extra room for uneven proportions. The final check fits the entire attempt, including small characters in any corner. Undo all strokes or restart to begin again. It is a practice guide, so a teacher may accept handwriting or a regional stroke-order variant that it rejects.

For a pen tablet, enable “Pen only” to ignore palm touches. Your list and settings are saved in this browser; handwriting is checked on this device.
