Hi everybody, how are you?

I wanted to make a suggestion for the Review section. I think that could be interesting to have an option in the settings for get a picture that shows the stroke order of the kanjis, something like this or similar

I understand that it can be a lot of work, sorry for that But i think that could be very useful to have that kind of option.

Thank you very much, and sorry for my bad english. I know that I can sound a little rood or odd sometimes, but english is not my native language.

I have received an email recently about Kanji Alive. Though I had never heard of it I guess they knew about the site and let me know about this useful resource.

What do you guys think about it? If you like it I might look more seriously into incorporating stroke orders, and other things.

Regarding stroke order animation the github page says:

Quote:Kanji stroke order animations hand-written by native Japanese writers on a Wacom Cinqtiq tablet. The videos were captured as 15fps QuickTime movies and converted into 248x248, H.264 encoded MP4 files. 1235 kanji animations.

So this doesn't cover all the kanji.

I can't promise anything soon as I'm looking into the SRS atm, but your opinions about the stroke order animations can help me pick the better one when the time comes.

Is it better to have ALL kanji covered, or to have better animations, for the most common characters?

I feel like covering all the kanji is not necessary at all, and it may be most useful for beginners to understand stroke order of the vital components. That said RTK isn't ordered by most common characters either..

If you can host it, it would be great.

Every time somebody gets one of the sites going, it is usually hosted in the end at someone's academic account, and when they move on everything disappears.

I know there were a bunch up at Wikipedia, and there was a kefluffle about them and they disappeared.

could you use KanjiVG (http://kanjivg.tagaini.net/)?

It's used by jisho.org and seems pretty good, but don't know how licence would work with this site (Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0)

I don't have much trouble with stroke order, but I find penji-style text (or any sort of handwritten style that isn't too cursive) is a plus in any sort of Japanese learning resource, especially one that aims to teach you kanji!

By the way, are the new SRS features you talk about on the front page kind of like the "Hard" button on Anki? That would be an useful feature, although in general I prefer RTK-style SRS over Anki because the pacing seems to be a bit easier while the retention rate is still good...

I hope your recovery is going well, by the way!

You could use http://drawmeakanji.com/ for animations which uses the KanjiVG database and covers all the 6,355 JIS X 0208 kanji.

There are many ways. First, you can install such programs as "zkanji" and "tagaini jisho", which hava kanji animation. Second, you can download font KanjiStrokeOrders. You also can use a paper kanji dictionary. And last, you can type in google "kanji stroke order animation".

Looking at Anki manual I think my planned changes will enable something closer to the "Again" button in Anki, though I am unsure how exactly those answers are treated in Anki. My first implementation is going to be fairly simple and somewhat between SuperMemo/Anki and Leitner. So the first planned upgrade isn't going to manage "easiness" as a separate property, but instead allow the intervals to be more fluid instead of hardcoded like they are now. So the intervals can be configured, and then the "No" answer can work like "Again" in Anki (from what I understand), so a "No" will be something like a "lapse" of memory.

To OP:

In the meantime one good option if you use a desktop browser is the Greasemonkey extension.

I just realized that some useful topics were unavailable when I closed the Feedback forum, so I just moved it here:

Kanji Koohii Built-in Stroke Order Diagram (Greasemonkey script)

Let us know in that thread if the script doesn't work, it's probably quite easy to fix, but it should work still.
