A simple application that lets you draw Japanese characters (kanji) using thetouch screen. It is intended for Japanese language learners who might need to
enter characters in order to look them up in a dictionary or enter them on a
website.
It identifies the character you have drawn using a special form of handwriting
recognition. You can select the correct character from a list. After entering
one or more characters, you can copy them into the clipboard as text for use in
a dictionary.
Note that this will NOT work - at all - if you don't know basically how to draw
kanji. If you just draw something any old way that looks like it, it certainly
won't be recognised. You have to draw characters basically the official way.
This is a fork of the Kanji draw application from https://github.com/quen/kanjirecog/
which is no longer maintained and was removed from F-Droid.
Two of the included icons were taken from the Android SDK and are licensed
under the Apache License 2.0. The kanji stroke data is based on the KanjiVG data
set from http://kanjivg.tagaini.net/ and licensed under the

WhatsNew:
Bug Fixes:
* Fix main drawing area width, so it scales properly on all devices
Features:
* Tapping the "Return" button will now trigger the "Go" action instead of "Next". This is more practical in most cases.
* Remove internet access permission and telemetry features - this is not appropriate for a keyboard
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
