Lipi Read & Write
Learn to write any script, one letter at a time.
Trace each letter on the ruling its script really uses, learn how it is read, and see how close you came, in 13 writing systems from Devanagari to Japanese.
Works with a finger, a stylus or a mouse. Nothing to install.
What happens when you write
Every letter tells you how you did, and what to try next.
A score on every letter
Finish a letter and see how closely you followed it, from 0 to 100%, with up to five stars.
Your best, letter by letter
Each letter keeps your best score on its button, so you can see at a glance which ones need another go.
Flowers for a great letter
Trace a letter at 90% or better and flowers fall across the screen.
Replay and compare
Play back your own strokes in the order you drew them, or lay them over the model letter.
Watch the stroke order
Numbered, animated stroke order for the 13 Devanagari vowels in Hindi, Marathi, Nepali and Sanskrit. More letters are being authored.
Smooth ink
Shaky finger and stylus lines are smoothed as you write, while the score still reads exactly what you drew.
From first letter to first sentence
Reading and writing grow together.
- Step 1
Letters
Every vowel and consonant, drawn over a faint model on the script's own ruling.
- Step 2
Marks and joins
Matras, vowel signs and the headline, where a script has them.
- Step 3
Words
Everyday words, each with how it is read and what it means.
- Step 4
Whole lines
Short sentences, so the hand learns rhythm and spacing, not just shapes.

Pick a script and start tracing.
Your writing stays on your device.
Lipi never uploads a child's handwriting. Your best scores are kept in this browser, and a signed-in learner's account records only that they practised.
