@ Nojay - it's so damned good to see you here. And I'm looking forward to it. And thanks in advance.
Thanks for the heads-up on Real Reader Lite too - I poked around in OCR software a bit, but most of what I saw was for English, so I just went back to the multiradical table. I was sure there was usable software out there somewhere, but wasn't sure how to go about finding it.
It's very slow going using the table, but at least I'm starting to get a feel for stroke order. Though I still don't have the faintest sense of the characters as a whole, much less a meaning - to me, they're still just, "okay, so this one has this little box thing over here and a slash underneath it and this squiggly bit over here and..."
Again, thanks.
