Sensitivity Adjustments on iOS

Tres333   March 30th, 2013 9:17p.m.

I'd like to suggest sensitivity adjustments for writing characters on iOS. I'd like the app to be harder on grading while writing as you can be really off on some strokes and the app will still count it.

:) Thanks!

I thought that was in settings already? as a percentage slider.

It's a stroke order strictness slider, not a general recognition sensitivity slider. We tried the latter a long time ago, but it's not easy to tune the sensitivity of the recognition algorithms, because it either gets unreasonably picky about certain strokes or unnoticeably more permissive about others.

If you realize you wrote a stroke that different from what Skritter thought it was, because you actually didn't know the character, then it might be a good time to self-grade. Skritter is often not very picky so that you can write very fast, so sometimes this is necessary.

Please leave it the way it is right now. Works perfectly for me. Selfgrading is a Form of learning, too, because you have to stop and think about your mistake for a Second.
