## What is Kanji Mentor?

Recall it. Write it. Learn it.

Kanji Mentor is the AI-powered kanji writing app for Japanese learners who want handwriting to be a genuine memory tool — not just copying practice.

THE CORE DIFFERENCE: RECALL BEFORE REVEAL
Most kanji apps show you the character before you write it. That's copying, not learning. Kanji Mentor requires a recall attempt first — you write from memory, then see the full analysis. This single change dramatically improves how your brain encodes the kanji.

AI HANDWRITING COACH
Every attempt is analyzed by AI. You get specific, actionable feedback on:
- Radical balance and proportions
- Center of gravity and stroke spacing
- Stroke order and stroke count accuracy
- Confusion risk: did your 食 start looking like 良? The app notices.

SPACED REPETITION TUNED FOR WRITING
Standard SRS schedules your next review on a single self-rating. Kanji Mentor weights the interval by both your recall quality and your AI writing score. Sloppy writing brings the card back sooner. Fluent recall from memory schedules it further out. The queue adapts to your actual learning curve.

READING DRILLS (READING PRACTICE)
Writing mastery and reading fluency are related but distinct skills. Kanji Mentor bridges the gap with:
- On/kun reading drills with carefully chosen distractors — similar readings from the same level, not random wrong answers
- Confusion-pair discrimination drills targeting the specific characters you've historically mixed up

SESSION SUMMARIES
After each practice session, see your score distribution, drill performance, and which cards are mastered versus still developing.

WHAT'S FREE
All N5 kanji — 140 characters — with full AI analysis, SRS, reading drills, and reference cards including readings, meanings, compounds, and memory hooks.
