A simple application that lets you draw Japanese characters (kanji) using the
touch screen. It is intended for Japanese language learners who might need to
enter characters in order to look them up in a dictionary or enter them on a
website.
It identifies the character you have drawn using a special form of handwriting
recognition. You can select the correct character from a list. After entering
one or more characters, you can copy them into the clipboard as text for use in
a dictionary.
Note that this will NOT work - at all - if you don't know basically how to draw
kanji. If you just draw something any old way that looks like it, it certainly
won't be recognised. You have to draw characters basically the official way.
This is a fork of the Kanji draw application from https://github.com/quen/kanjirecog/
which is no longer maintained and was removed from F-Droid.
Two of the included icons were taken from the Android SDK and are licensed

set from http://kanjivg.tagaini.net/ and licensed under the
