Just a suggestion for a small (from the user point of view at least) modification. Would it help to have the stroke count displayed after the character has been marked right or wrong? I find that with some tricky characters, having the stroke count at the back of my mind helps to remember the character; and so this might provide a degree of reinforcement.

Best wishes,

Doesn't help me.
Can you please explain how knowing the stroke count helps remember the character?

The precise workings of my mind are not entirely clear to me, so I'm not sure I can explain entirely; but particularly with homophones (shi4 for example), I find that having stroke-count filed somewhere in the back of my mind along with other information on the character can help with recall. This may, of course, be a quirk of my own mind, or it may be more simply that I started out using McNaughton's book, in which the stroke-count is given for each character, so it just feels reassuring. I don't really know which of the two. Anyway, what do other folks think? Would this be helpful?

I would also be interested to hear what other users have to say. I've never learned characters by using the stroke count, but that doesn't mean others couldn't be helped by having that information displayedv

Not so interesting to me.

Maybe I don't quite understand it properly, but for me the indication of the stroke order is fully satisfactory and doesn't need any additions.

I think that does make sense. If I'm thinking about how to write a word and I've memorized the stroke count, it will help with remembering the right word, especially if there is another word that sounds the same (叶，页). But I'm not sure how good my mind is with attaching numbers to Chinese characters...I've tried for a bit to memorize the tones along with the character (so like 33 for 你好) but it didn't stick very well.

@thinkbuddha, stroke count seems of no use for my own learning, but it seems like it would be interesting to a neurologist. Why not give Oliver Sacks a call ;) http://www.oliversacks.com/

with regards to stroke count I thought many times while using skritter that a character written with too many strokes should be considered as wrong in stead of right, like it appears to be now. I often add on stroke more in the end and have to have the discipline to mark it as wrong myself, i think i often even don't notice.

If you every start to use a non-pinyin dictionary, knowing stroke count is very useful. Traditional character dictionaries in Taiwan are usually ordered by radical, then stroke count. There are usually also phonetic indexes ordered by phoneme, tone, then stroke count.
