Users can highlight any character they want and start to learn by looking at the stroke animation provided by eStroke and character definition provided by Yahoo! dictionary. The most important part is that the system lets users to practice their handwriting and the system will give immediate feedback as soon as the user finishes each stroke. The system will tell users which mistakes they made or give supportive comments when they did well. We also have experimental results that prove that our system is very useful in improving Chinese handwriting skills and that our system is user friendly enough to let users quickly learn how to use it.
