Q: What is Typingo?

An iOS app that turns 15,000+ curated knowledge items (HSK Chinese, JLPT Japanese, kanji, classical literature, code, world constitutions, K-pop lyrics) into typing practice. You can type, speak, or handwrite each item.

Q: How does the handwriting mode work?

You draw the target character on a PencilKit canvas with your finger or Apple Pencil. Apple Vision (VNRecognizeTextRequest) recognizes your strokes against the target — supporting kanji, hanja, 汉字, kana, and hangul. No cloud upload; recognition is on-device.

Q: Is Typingo free?

Yes. Free to download, all 15,000 items included, no subscription, no in-app purchases.

Q: Does Typingo collect my data?

No. No account, no analytics SDK, no third-party tracking. Your progress lives only on your device. Practice reminders are optional and run via iOS local notifications.

Q: What languages does Typingo support?

Content covers Chinese (HSK 1–6), Japanese (JLPT N5–N1 + Joyo Kanji + Aozora), Korean (Hanja, 사자성어, 시조, modern poems), and English (NGSL, Shakespeare, speeches, code cheatsheets). The app UI is localized in English, Korean, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.

Q: What is the Daily Challenge?

One item picked deterministically per day — the same item for everyone worldwide. Two minutes is enough. A flame counter tracks how many days you have completed.

Type your way through HSK Chinese, JLPT Japanese, 教育漢字, Shakespeare sonnets, K-pop lyrics, and world constitutions. Or draw each character on the canvas — Apple Vision reads your strokes.
