## What is Soragaki start up?

Soragaki software, the application software for mastering the stroke order of Chinese characters, has been invented for elementary school students to learn both the right stroke order and the form of Chinese characters by tracing over model characters on the screen of the tablet computer with a stylus pen or fingers at three levels. As a result, elementary school students can master not only the stroke order and the form of Chinese characters but also an appropriate way of finishing each stroke.*
 Traditionally, the word "Soragaki" means the method used to teach children the correct stroke order and the form of Chinese characters. When translating "Soragaki" into English, one can translate the word as "writing in the sky". As this translation shows, "Soragaki" is a dynamic method to give the discipline of writing Chinese characters to the learners. This time, we made a success in replicating the features of "Soragaki" in a tablet computer. Mastering the correct stroke order leads to the acquisition of the ability to write in a good hand. At the same time, students are likely to study Chinese characters, which are new to them, enjoying without any mental suffering. 
 This Soragaki software includes all of the Chinese characters that should be learnt in elementary school. Besides that, we made lots of efforts toward showing letters clearly in the same font type as the textbook in order to enable the students to study comfortably. Moreover, the learners will obtain special information about the character such as how to use the character, the motion picture of the stroke order, and the derivation of the character. Each time the learners master the each character, they will get a mark of the flower on the character as a prize. This special prize will surely accelerate students' motivation to learn and finally fill the students' hearts with satisfaction with accomplishment.

*Chinese characters have three types of ways of ending each stroke.
1."Tome" : finishing a stroke with complete stop
2."Hane" : finishing a stroke with a sharp hook
3."Harai" : finishing a stroke smoothly without making rapid stop

### 2/5 — アプリ制作者がまずプレイしてみてほしい

*2022-02-01, version 1.2.5*

フォントがきれいなのでひらがなアプリを購入前に無料の本アプリを大人が試してみましたが、判定が理解できません。何故ダメなのかもわからない。しんにょうの判定なんて厳しすぎでこれは子供のやる気を挫くのが目に見えていて、とてもじゃないけれどプレイさせられません。

### 4/5 — 良いですね

*2013-03-07, version 1.1.1*

他の漢字appと比べて、ちゃんと書き順通りに練習できるし、反復しやすいので良いと思います。判定基準を変更して、気軽にできる書き順練習だけのモードにもなれば尚良いです。あと、”何画目が間違っています”と表示されている時に、肝心の文字が見えないことと、すぐに消えてしまうのでどこが間違っているのか確認できない点は改善して欲しい。これが良くなれば満点です

### 1/5 — 惜しい

*2012-12-26, version 1.1.1*

アイディアは秀逸。
アプリの質は劣悪。
誰が設定してテストしたのか。
そもそも販売前にテストしたのか。
何が悪くて不合格なのか、大人ですら理解できない。
子供のやる気を削ぐアプリ。
早急に改善を求む。

### 4/5 — なぜ

*2012-08-10, version 1.0*

五年生の漢字で '移' のそらがきを2時間
チャレンジしましたがムリでした。
他にもなかなかクリア出来ない漢字も
ありました。以上の理由で有料版まで
踏み込めず。残念！悪しからず。

### 5/5 — すばらしい！

*2012-08-09, version 1.0*

これまで漢字のアプリを色々使いましたが、一番気に入りました。特に、「はね」や「とめ」を間違うと花丸がもらえないのは、とてもいいですね。字をていねいに書かないと認識してくれない点もグッドです。ていねに書くことによって、字もきれいに書けるようになると思いました。非常に良いアプリです。

### 4/5 — なかなか・・・

*2012-08-07, version 1.0*

少し違ったら、○○○の形が違います。と、出てくるので、便利でーす。

### 5/5 — 書道みたい

*2012-08-02, version 1.0*

漢字の書き味がすごいです。筆で書いているみたい。筆順を正しく書くと字が上手にかける気がします。

### 5/5 — 子供が楽しんで使っていた

*2012-08-01, version 1.0*

子供に使わせてみたが、結構熱心にやっていた。
合格しにくい漢字もあったが、ハネやトメ、飛び出しなどのポイントを押さえてあるので、学習効果は期待できそう。
