Draw a Chinese character and learn how to write it
Don’t know how to type a character? Draw it with your mouse or finger. The recogniser suggests the closest characters; tap one to see it animated stroke by stroke, then trace it yourself over the outline. You can also type a character or a short word such as 你们 to get every character in order.
FAQ
How do I find a Chinese character by drawing it?
Draw it on the pad in any stroke order. The top matches appear as soon as you lift your pen.
Does the drawing have to follow the correct stroke order?
No. Recognition works on the shape, then the animation shows the correct order for the character you pick.
Can I use it on a phone?
Yes. The pad works with a finger or stylus, and the page fits a phone screen.
