This is a long-shot but I use Memrise.com to learn/practice my kanji and it would be amazing if the fabulous sljfaq handwriting recognition tool could be integrated with it (and with any website that for some reason need this route to kanji input). Is there any way to do this now, or is it something that you might support in the future?

I searched this discussion forum and the web a bit and couldn't find any source code for the recognition engine, beyond the KanjiVG project---if the source was available I'd be more than willing to look into such an API for you.

Many thanks for this tool. It has *never* let me down, on desktop or smartphone (unlike my frequent attempts at using the built-in iOS traditional Chinese handwriting recognition for kanji).

It's possible to do something like that.

Here is an example at qhanzi.com:

http://www.qhanzi.com/iframe.html

Here is the test page:

http://www.qhanzi.com/test-iframe.html

Also here:

This is in use at bohan.pl:

Click on the pen icon.

There isn't a system at kanji.sljfaq.org similar to this yet, but if
anyone is interested I can set it up.

Sorry for the late reply, I hope you've been well. 

I wanted to reply to say that I remain very interested in this! Please let us know if/when you make an iframe-embeddable version of kanji.sljfaq.

Also, as an image processing guy, I am curious: how does the handwriting recognition work? Is it a trained machine learning algorithm like Tekagi? Or is it more geometric/graph-based?

I can make it if you tell me the name of your website.

My goal is to make an Anki plug-in for it. Anki, a flashcard program that's somewhat popular, is a Qt app and its cards are essentially little browsers (implementing Qt WebViews). It fully supports Javascript and CSS and all, so I'm hoping this will work there. I guess I can do some testing with the live site to make sure of this works...

Do I need to first make a stand-alone site before you make the tool embeddable :)? Step 1, make site, step 2, get kanji recognizer, ..., step 4, profit!!!

I'm not sure why you need to have an iframe if you just want to send data to the website.

I don't mean to be rude, but I don't understand what you are thinking/talking about, and I'm not sure you do either. Basically you seem to be wasting my time.
