Skritter

A handwriting SRS. Useful if stroke order is the job. Redundant if you only need recognition.

Good fit if

  • Learners who need to write characters by hand
  • People whose class grades handwriting
  • Students who already have a vocab list

Look elsewhere if

  • You only need to recognize kanji on a screen
  • WaniKani already owns your kanji hour
  • You will not write daily

Skritter quizzes Japanese writing with spaced repetition. You draw the character; the app scores stroke order and shape.

Who it fits

It fits learners who must write, not only tap.

Limits

Recognition from reading does not require this. WaniKani already fills a kanji hour for many people. Do not add both at full volume.
