In their own words
Handwriting Repeater
Handwriting Repeater is a free browser-based tool for practicing written sentences on a digital canvas. Loop Mode repeats writing across a page, while Trace Mode places faint guide text beneath the writing. The pen can be set to three sizes, four types, and eleven ink colours; page options include ten line styles and five colours, including Montessori-style guides and blank pages.
A Type Text panel supports repeated text, seven fonts, and preset alphabet, number, cursive, calligraphy, and signature templates. Save the canvas as a PDF, capture a PNG, or print through the browser. A share link carries the chosen settings so a teacher can send them to students. The canvas expands as lines are added, with no hard repetition limit. Text entered in the canvas stays in the browser and is not sent to or stored on the operator's servers. It works in modern browsers on iOS, Android, desktop, and laptop computers. It requires no account and has no subscription fees.
Kitsunewa Writing Practice
Kitsunewa Writing Practice helps learners practice Japanese kana and kanji stroke order by watching, tracing or writing characters from memory. Learners can practice individual characters or words, study the stroke order first, or begin memory practice with hints. The “Your own” option takes Japanese text, such as a name or sentence, and makes its unique characters available to practice. Writing practice runs in a browser without signup or rounds and scores; learners can repeat characters and personal bests are saved on their device. A mouse or trackpad works, as does finger input on phones and tablets. The tool is available on the web, Android and iOS. The Free plan is free and includes writing practice and other tools. Pro costs $4.08/mo (annual), billed $49 yearly, and includes Advanced Essentials after a free preview, higher AI conversation caps and unlimited guided speaking lessons. Advanced Essentials batches require an account. Pro can be cancelled in account settings, with access through the billing period’s end.
