Wanikani is sometimes very unforgiving for accidentically hitting a key. I accidentically hit “u” before 'y" key (they’re next to each other) so I got this wrong, but in my head I said “Kyuu-mei” It can be so frustrating. I guess I’ll just have to suck it up and better luck next time? Does this a…

Yes, all too often I have exactly the right answer in my mind, and something goes wrong with my keying and I hit the ENTER key just a bit too quickly. Such is life in WK-land.

This was actually a deal breaker for me. My friend told me about a phone app called Tsurukame. It has a few features, but if you get it wrong due to a typo you can click ‘I got this right’ button and move on. I only do my reviews on this app, but I still try to do my new lessons on my computer so lo…

[image] Denkigaku: Wanikani is sometimes very unforgiving for accidentically hitting a key. Yep, but so is your average IME. If you type くゆうめい, it’s unlikely to suggest 究明 as a possible kanji option. Mine’s giving me 区有名. You can get IMEs with built-in autocorrect, and it can sometimes catch…

The difference is that if you don’t see the kanji you’re looking for in the IME, you can retype it, then select the proper kanji that pops up(which is what everyone who’s typing it WOULD do in real life). If you mess up in wanikani due to straight mistyping, wanikani assumes you’re a buffoon, and k…

If I’m doing a mistake simply because of a typo I just close the tab and retry. As far as I understand it doesn’t count it as a mistake then and you can retry. Just make sure not to abuse it for normal mistakes :smiley:

I also have this app, but I prefer typing on keyboard because I even make more mistakes on a phone.

That looks nice, but I did not pay money for an application just so I have to patch their bugs with 3rd party software. @UselessMiwa That is even more absurd. The test is if you know the kanji 宝 is read たから. the くじ is literally in the question, so it does not make sense to give a penalty because i…

[image] Denkigaku: I have to patch their bugs It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. And that’s not a joke the way it usually is - it’s was deliberately designed that way. But it was also designed to be modifiable with third-party scripts. You paid for that feature too.

It was deliberately made so that if you your finger slips it means WK thinks you did not remember the kanji and have no possible way to correct it, even though you can cheat anyway by googling the kanji before answering, and have the option to add synonyms? Weird.
