Kakimichi: Japanese Writing

Trace kana and kanji with your finger or the Apple Pencil, then write from dictation. Kakimichi turns your iPad into a real Japanese writing notebook. The kana are free.

Kakimichi (書き道, "the way of writing") turns your iPad into a Japanese writing notebook. Trace with your finger or the Apple Pencil: the app checks every stroke and corrects you on the spot, like a patient teacher.

A CLEAR PATH, FROM YOUR FIRST KANA TO JUNIOR HIGH • Hiragana and katakana: every kana, free • Over 2,000 kanji in Japanese school order, from grade 1 to junior high • 16,000 words and 13,000 sentences, so you write in context and not just isolated characters • A short session each day: a few characters to work on, and a dictation

LEARN BY WRITING, NOT BY WATCHING • A model of every character with its stroke order • Immediate correction of what you write • Practice boxes with guides that fade away, like a Japanese schoolchild's notebook • Audio pronunciation for every character • Quizzes, readings and sentences to settle what you can already write

DICTATION, THE REAL TEST Recognising a kanji is easy; writing it from memory is what proves you know it. • Listen to a segment, write it from memory, then check yourself • Adjustable difficulty and level, pick the character families you want • The method of Japanese schools, on your iPad

BUILT FOR IPAD AND APPLE PENCIL • Natural ink, an eraser, and stroke-by-stroke undo • A calm, dark interface drawn from paper lanterns and washi • Works with a finger just as well as with a stylus

KAKIMICHI PRO Hiragana and katakana are free, quizzes, words and sentences included. Kakimichi Pro unlocks the kanji and dictation: • a monthly or yearly subscription, with a free week to try it • or a one-time purchase, paid once
