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.
