Kana Speed Drill is a timed drill for hiragana and katakana. You practice until you can read a kana without stopping to work it out. A kana appears with four romaji under it. You tap one, and the app times how long it took. That time is what the app grades you on. Working out that か is ka after two seconds isn't reading, so only quick correct answers count toward knowing a character. Your progress here means the kana you can read at speed. WHAT YOU GET • All 142 characters: the full gojūon in both scripts, plus 50 dakuten and handakuten • Six Japanese typefaces built in: Print, Modern, Rounded, Textbook, Brush and Handwritten, or Shuffle for a different one every question • Wrong answers pulled from the kana people really do mix up, like シ and ツ or ね and わ • A chart of every character, colored by how well you know it • A ranking that puts your weakest kana first and names what you confuse them with • Session stats: median time, fastest answer, best streak, accuracy • Light and dark themes, with layouts built for phone, tablet and landscape SIX TYPEFACES, BECAUSE THE SHAPE CHANGES さ and き join their strokes in print and break them by hand. り is one stroke in brush and two in a textbook. Drill one typeface and that's the only one you'll be able to read, so Shuffle deals a different face every question. All six ship inside the app, so they work offline and nothing falls back to a font that draws the character some other way. OFFLINE AND PRIVATE No account, no ads, no analytics. The app makes no network calls at all. Your progress stays on your device, and you can export it to a file whenever you want to move it. FREE All of it. Nothing locked, no subscription.
