What is it about?
Our research project aims to help people learn Japanese, especially Hiragana. Japanese can be a difficult language to master, and hiragana is fundamental. To make learning easier, we created a web tool that can recognize handwritten Hiragana characters. We used advanced techniques like Chain Code Feature and Manhattan distance to compare different characters and find the best match. Here's how it works: when you write a Hiragana character, our system analyzes the character and compares it to a database of trained characters. He will then tell you which character he thinks you wrote. It's like having a digital tutor to check your writing and help you study.

Why is it important?
Learning Japanese is a valuable skill, whether for travel, work, or personal interest. Hiragana is the first step in this journey, and our tool makes it easier. It can benefit learners, teachers, and anyone interested in Japanese culture. By improving recognition accuracy, we're making the learning process smoother and more accessible.
Perspectives
Our research opens the door to more effective and user-friendly language learning tools. As technology advances, we hope to refine our system and expand it to cover more aspects of the Japanese language, helping even more people on their journey to mastering this beautiful language.
