Hello everyone. Similar to prior complaints by others, for characters which I easily recognize the reading/meaning for a presented kanji character, I sometimes find it difficult to recall the image of the kanji characters when prompted in the opposite order (i.e. meaning/reading).

Hi everyone, thanks for the responses. @rfindley That would be amazing. I think that is a perfect solution if possible. @wunderbunny I will look into an Anki solution for this and respond with any success I have. I am unsure of the ability to sufficiently incorporate radicals. @Zenguro @Fiasko444 …
