Katakana
Like hiragana, katakana is a phonetic writing system.
These characters are used for foreign words (e.g. アメリカ -> amerika -> America / タクシー -> takushī -> taxi)
Improved graphics tablet / touch-screen support (tested on Wacom Intuos). Now, a pen can be used to navigate the menus and complete the stroke order sections.
Note: even on graphics tablet, the stroke order section is still design to just teach stroke order. It's not a free-drawing mode, the best way to practise actual handwriting is still pen/paper.
