Kanatest
Kanatest is a Japanese kana (Hiragana and Katakana) simple flashcard tool.
During test the Kanatest displays randomly selected kana char (respecting mode and lesson) and waits for user answer expected as romaji equivalent. This process continues until all questions will be answered or all questions will be answered correctly (depends on options). At the end of test a short info about drilling time and correctness ratio is displayed. The results are stored and user can review his performance in any time.
