| Abstract: | Learning to write Japanese kanji comes with the implicit challenges of continuous practice of writing kanji and the necessity of revisiting learned kanji. For this purpose, Script Sensei has been developed - a vector-based algorithm designed to check and correct written kanji. This project assessed the possibility of a vector-based algorithm to achieve this objective. This was investigated in multiple steps: creating a website to gather input strokes from the user; reducing the input strokes to turning and inflexion points; converting the turning and inflexion points into vectors; comparing the vectors with the templates from the KanjiVG database; and finally, displaying the feedback based on count, order, direction, shape and size. Suggestions included improving the accuracy of the simplification and improving the method to display the feedback; however, Script Sensei is a suitable alternative aimed at accurately learning to write kanji. With its innovative approach, Script Sensei showcases the potential of vector-based algorithms to enhance the learning experience for learners seeking to master the substantial challenge of writing Japanese kanji. |
