• See the answer: a miss now shows the correct romaji and plays it aloud, and missed characters on the results screen show their romaji too. • Your spelling counts: common alternatives like si, tu, hu and nn are accepted. • Shorter quizzes: choose 10, 20, 50 or all questions. Characters due for review come first. • Honest progress: replaying the same quiz no longer rushes characters to mastered, and leaving a quiz early still saves what you answered. • Full-screen ads no longer appear during a quiz or right after a purchase. • Better support for larger text sizes and VoiceOver. • A smaller download.

About
Master the building blocks of Japanese, one character at a time. Type Kana is a focused, no-nonsense way to learn hiragana and katakana through quizzing, tracing, and real spoken pronunciation, built by an independent developer who's learning right alongside you. Quiz Yourself Test your recall by typing the romaji for each character as it appears. Get instant feedback with haptics and sound, and dive as deep as you want. Base characters, diacritical marks ( ゛゜), and contracted sounds (きゃ, しゅ, etc.) are all included. Never Forget What You Missed Every quiz results screen shows you exactly which characters tripped you up, with a one-tap Review Missed button that jumps straight into a focused re-quiz. No digging through your history to figure out what to study next. Hear It, Not Just See It Tap any kana in the Learning Center, Trace, or Quiz tabs to hear it spoken aloud, in your choice of a male or female voice. Pronunciation should never be a guessing game. Smart Review, Built In Type Kana remembers how you're doing on every character and uses spaced repetition to bring back the ones you're still shaky on, right when you're about to forget them. Reminders, On Your Terms Turn on Smart Reminders to get a gentle nudge when review is due or your streak's about to lapse. Leave them off if you'd rather study on your own schedule. Practice Writing, Too The Trace tab lets you draw each character by hand with an on-screen grid, adjustable pen colors and width, and a romaji hint if you get stuck. Great for building muscle memory, not just recognition. Every Character, One Place The Kana Almanac shows every hiragana and katakana character you've learned so far, color-coded by mastery, so you always know where you stand at a glance. See Your Progress The Home dashboard tracks your mastery across all 208 characters and keeps a daily study streak, so you can see your progress build day by day. Type Kana is free to use, supported by minimal ads. Prefer a distraction-free experience? A one-time, no-subscription purchase removes ads for good. Whether you're just starting out or brushing up before a trip, Type Kana is here to help you build real, lasting familiarity with kana. No fluff, no gimmicks, just focused practice.
