How to use it
Draw a character in separate strokes, then compare the suggested candidates. Clear the canvas and try again if the result is not useful.
Before you use the result
Matching uses local stroke templates and is sensitive to stroke order and shape. It is not optical recognition of a photo. Try radical lookup if the character remains hard to identify.
To keep a word for later, use the text reader and save it to your desk. You can export your study data from Settings & data.
