Learn to write one letter, word and sentence at a time. Clear models, guided practice and honest feedback after every attempt, in English, French, German, Spanish, Romanian, Japanese hiragana, Chinese or Hindi. Everything stays on your iPhone or iPad.
Children trace and write with clear guides, find out what every word means, then write it again from memory. Practice stays on the device: no accounts, no uploads, no ads.
A patient handwriting tutor for small hands: clear guides, honest feedback, and now a way to learn what the words mean in whichever language your child is writing.
Choose the language your child practises separately from the app language: English, French, German, Spanish, Romanian, Japanese hiragana, a starter set of 60 Simplified Chinese characters, or Hindi in Devanagari. Stroke-by-stroke steps stay in your language.
Clear models and guides for print and joined cursive in Latin letters, plus native stroke order for kana, Chinese characters and Devanagari. Latin letters follow a handwriting-family order (c, o, a, d…) with a plain A-to-Z option.
Each attempt is scored for shape, spacing, line control, pressure and rhythm. Common slips, such as a mirrored b or d, are named in plain words so your child knows what to fix.
See what every word and sentence means, hear it at normal or slow speed with pinyin, romaji or Hindi romanisation, and read short grammar notes and memory tricks. Tap any word to practise writing it.
Ten quick questions: read it, hear it, then write it from memory. Words come back on later days until they stick.
Silly stories, postcards, comics, wanted posters, fluency drills and free writing turn practice into real writing. Every activity saves progress.
Many handwriting apps reward any scribble. Inkla tells a child what went well and what to try next.
Inkla is built for parents, teachers and therapists looking for a kids handwriting app, a letter tracing app for iPhone and iPad, or a way to learn to write in another language. It fits families practising at home, bilingual families and heritage-language learners, and classrooms or therapy sessions where letter formation matters.
A calm place for children from about age 4 to build letter confidence a few minutes at a time, then move on to words and sentences.
Keep the app in your home language and practise writing another one, or the other way round. Steps and meanings stay in the language you read.
Formation and pressure feedback, mirror-letter catches and a PDF practice summary can support a conversation with a teacher or occupational therapist.
Hiragana, Chinese characters and Devanagari each come with their own guides and stroke order, and every word can be heard slowly.
Latin letters, hiragana, Chinese characters and Devanagari each get their own guides and stroke order, and the app language never has to change.
No rewards for scribbles. Each attempt is checked against the letter's model, and the feedback says what to fix: shape, direction, spacing or completeness.
The Meaning Quiz uses well-studied methods (spaced review, practice testing and writing from memory), so new words come back until they are learned.
Nothing about your child leaves the device unless you export a report yourself. No sign-up, no progress sync, no cloud.
Children from about age 4 learning their first letters, through confident writers of 8 and up working on words, sentences and joined cursive. Older learners picking up a new script can use it too.
