Hanzi Quiz allows you to practice writing Chinese characters (simplified and traditional) right within Anki! It utilizes hanzi-writer.js (https://hanziwriter.org/docs.html) within a custom card template to allow you to practice writing in the correct stroke order. As you become more familiar with the character, the quiz forces you to actively recall it more - hiding previews and animations - allowing you to engage your active recall. On the back side of each card, there is a practice mode to get familiar with new cards as well as cards that give you extra trouble.
Features:
This card template is intended to be used for sets of vocab or HSK decks. I recommend modifying the deck to give you more chances to practice the card early.
If you have any suggestions, please reach out! :)
NOTE: This is currently in beta testing. Feel free to use it, but please understand that there may be some issues remaining.
