Description
Studying Japanese Kanji or Chinese Hanzi characters?
Scribe Origins is designed to help students rapidly learn the thousands of kanji/hanzi characters required for reading & writing Asian languages. To make learning as fast as possible, we've developed several games to help practice the characters you are currently learning. Using a unified, inbuilt spaced-repetition system, whichever game you are playing will use the same characters you are currently studying, & remember your progress in them as a single study deck.
Writing always comes FIRST in learning a language, as it allows your brain to specifically link word sounds, word meanings, & their written form together. Whereas learning to speak Japanese or speak Chinese before learning writing means your brain will learn one set of links, then needs to unlearn them & re-learn them, which is why most language students take 3 years to learn a language. To study Japanese & study Chinese efficiently & effectively, the character writing system is foundational.
- Primitive radicals for 4,800 kanji + hanzi characters (e.g. 親 (parent) is made of 見, 立, 木).
- 6 kanji + hanzi language sets: JLPT, JOYO, HSK, TOCFL, Taiwan School System, Hong Kong School System character sets. Covering all major Japanese writing & Chinese writing systems.
- 7 kanji games: Kanji Flashcards, Kanji Multiple Choice, Kanji Scrabble, Kanji Tiles, Kanji Matchup, Kanji Blockfall Keywords, Kanji Blockfall Primitives.
- Unified keywords across all kanji + hanzi character sets, based as closely to the original meaning as possible (and you can download customised lists too!)
- Spaced-Repetition System that.. is simply incredible. When you get down into the deeper levels with thous&s of characters to remember, you'll be amazed at how accurately the right character comes along.
- Similar character, character usage, Japanese dictionary + Chinese dictionary of common words all included per card.
Even if you don't think you'll learn writing, being able to read is an IMPERATIVE SKILL to easily understand the language.
The first level of all languages is free. Further levels can either be purchased once-off or subscribed to.

This was going to be a minor update. You know, fix a few bugs, improve usability here and there. Those Setting toggles weren't so easy to see previously. And then I was going to wait until iOS was updated, so that you'd have support for that too.
But then I got to thinking, while we're all waiting, why not add a few more features. So I started working on one of the items that's been on the TODO list of customer recommendations for far too long.. Exam Mode. You can now do a multiple choice test through your entire level at any time.
And then I got to thinking, a few people have wanted some landscape orientation support, because there are those of you who swing that way, and that's cool, so we went ahead and did that one too.
And then I started learning Thai. I don't know Thai, but I was just putting the finishing touches on the Scribe Thai app, and realised I needed to use it to test everything. But Thai didn't make much sense to me, as I didn't have any background in it. What I needed was a super-mini grammar guide, to condense the basics of the language down into 30 or so phrases. And then I started thinking.. What if ALL apps had a super-mini grammar guide?? It was ingenious. So all the translators got going on perfecting that task, we set up recordings, and we went and added that.
And then I was thinking REALLY out of the box. What if we added a button to make the iPhone fly! Yup. Fly. Mini iPhone jet packs. So we got working on that, and got a demo going, and managed to get our iPhone to fly across the English Channel! It was awesome. But then we realised there were flight restrictions. iPhones aren't allowed to fly unmanned. FAA rules. So we had to remove that feature. Sorry about that.
But we do love our customers, so if you want this feature added back in, mail us! [email protected] .. yup, just right there. We'll always receive your email. And we'll always reply. So if it doesn't seem like we replied, check the email's spam folder. Spam folders get hungry and eat our messages.
Oh, and one final thought. These Scribe apps aren't very well known yet. If you've seen our facebook + twitter groups, you've probably noticed they're pretty small. What we'd like to do is to boost that up, to help people find out about the Scribe series and get a nice community of learners together. So please check that out. Especially if you want the iPhone to take flight again.
Peace and love,
Henry.

ps. About Version 2.02:
A few small bugs survived our annual pest control. Now we're using Extreme Strength bug spray. That'll teach those bugs.

Nineja3244,
Incredible!
This app is amazing! I have used it and it’s counter parts to teach myself Japanese. If I was consistent in my learning I would know so much. But this app gives so much for the price and even just the free part of the app can get you a really good understanding of Kanji. It points you in the direction of what to learn and can solidify the basics before moving on. Plus there is a cute anime girl with a different outfit everyday to help the learning process feel less lonely. There was a time when the app had some maintenance issues and I emailed the customer support and within the next day had a response and the issue resolved. Truly recommended this app and have to multiple of my friends who wanted a good way to start learning. This app is great from Kanji and the developer has another app just as good for vocab! It’s incredible!
Kirito 1864,
Great app! Wish for one feature
This is a fantastic app overall. Currently I have it set up to not add any automatically and search for and add them manually as I learn them in remembering the kanji book. The feature request would be an all kanji list you can track progress on or a list that follows the RTK order.
Stink flipper,
Good, if a bit odd
Really shows how the characters are built with animations. Makes it much easier to remember them.
I could do without the cartoon girl with cat ears, but there you go.

Awesome app
My only issue is a lack of choice randomization when working through long lists, but it's still one of the best apps I've used.
Annnnnie9905,
Great learning tool
Love the interface and gives you a ton of options for memorization long term. A+! Wasn't a hard decision to buy the full version.
Booooomtu,
I love it so far
I'm using this one in conjunction with the vocab master. Easy to use and yea I bought both of them too. Worth it. 良いです
AlienSolipsist1370,
Great learning tool!!
This app has allowed me to learn at lightning speed!! The games are fun and keep me interested and learning easy!!
Baryonyx,
Love this app but...
This app is excellent for working through Kanji. My question is. Does the mascot girl have a name?
tastyteacup,
Incredible
I tried to read Learning the Traditional Hanzi, but found the fictional meanings and stories about the primitives bizarre and culturally alien. I simply cannot be convinced that a Chinese primitive means “baseball”! I found and enjoyed reading Chineasy, but it covered so few characters, and it was a muddle of both traditional and simplified hanzi.
This app is a godsend. It breaks each character down into its primitive components and presents them in order of complexity, using the primitives and character components you have already learned. Where possible, it gives the actual meaning and context of primitives. It also gives their Mandarin pronunciation in pinyin, which is wonderful. I am using the TOCFL, and my only note is that it would be nice to additionally get the pronunciation in zhuyin, since that is the alphabet in use in Taiwan.

kristi881,
Nice app!!
I really like this app. I have been trying to learn Chinese for almost a year now and I wouldn't have gotten where I am now without this app. I do have a suggestion though. When using flash cards can you make it so that the flash card takes up the whole screen. Have the screen divided between the flashcard and 'what is a flashcard'/ other meanings and other locations is kind of distracting (maybe add a 'more information' button). Also paying $9 to unlock the WHOLE app when I'm not going to use it all is a waste of money(main reason why I haven't bought it yet). I only plan on using the games and the HSK levels. I won't need the other sets. If i do I would rather pay to unlock the set i want.
