Tools > Handwriting Recognition


What is the handwriting recognition tool?
The handwriting tool allows you to find characters by drawing them. Simply write the character in the box and select the desired one from the list that appears.

How does it work?
The tool searches our character database based on the appearance of what you draw, the stroke order you use, and other factors. Even if you are unsure how exactly to write a character, the character you are looking for will most likely be included in results for you to recognize and choose from.
Does stroke order matter?
Correct stroke order is not essential. We will find your character even if you don’t write it perfectly.
Can I input multiple characters at a time?
If you want to find more than one character, just draw and selet the first one, then repeat the process for the remaining characters you wish to find.
