    How to search a kanji by drawing it

    Draw a kanji in the box and click "Identify". Our recognition algorithm will use our kanji database to find the most relevant matches.

    Options

    OptionDescription
    ClearClear the drawing to start again
    UndoUndo the last stroke
    IdentifyIdentify the kanji

    Tips for better accuracy

    • Try to use the right stroke order. Our engine is capable to identify the kanji even if the stroke order is not correct, but it works better when it is right.
    • Try to use the right number of strokes. If the strokes are concatenated, it's going to be more difficult to identify the right kanji.
    • Do not use kana. The engine is only capable to identify kanji. Hiragana and katakana won't work.
