BW Hanzi Writer began as a quiet handwriting companion I built for my own child. It is made for children, parents, and Chinese learners who want to practise correct writing without games, ads, or account setup.
Practice 9,030 Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters, arranged in 9 progressive levels for each script. Explore 20 practical groups containing 1,000 curated words. Choose Simplified or Traditional, Pinyin or Zhuyin independently, and use the core handwriting practice offline.
What you can do:
• Watch every stroke: clear step-by-step animations show the correct order and structure
• Trace with guidance: follow each path and receive instant audio feedback
• Learn progressively: move from common characters to advanced and rare forms
• Build vocabulary: reinforce characters through 1,000 useful words
• Find and review: search by character, Pinyin, or meaning, then save favorites
• Make it yours: create focused practice lists and track daily and weekly progress
Ideal for parents practicing with children, beginners building a solid foundation, and anyone who wants to regain confidence in handwritten Chinese.
