    3. Tap “Trace” and write in the box with mouse or finger — every stroke is graded live.

    FAQ

    What people usually want to know

    Which stroke-order standard is this?

    Stroke order and stroke types are checked character-by-character against the official CNS11643 open data (the Taiwan MOE standard); Bopomofo readings are then checked against the MOE Mandarin Dictionary; glyph outlines are traced from Arphic fonts, and some characters' stroke order and glyph are taken directly from the MOE official Stroke Order Learning Web. It is what Taiwanese schools teach and differs from mainland China's standard on some characters and readings.

    Why can't I find some common characters?

    This version only includes characters whose order has been verified one by one. We'd rather omit a character than show a possibly-wrong order; more are being added.

    Can I practise on a phone?

    Yes — trace directly with your finger in the box; the interface is mobile-optimised.

    It keeps marking my stroke wrong.

    It grades each stroke's direction and order, not neatness. Get the order and direction right and it passes — tap Animate to see it first.
