Frequently asked questions
- Are the Eastve tools free?
- Yes. Every tool in the toolbox runs its core function free of charge and without an account. A few offer an optional one-time paid upgrade for a longer personalised reading; the free result is never withheld.
- Do I need to create an account?
- No. The toolbox works without signing up. An account is only needed if you want to save results or buy a deep reading.
- How accurate is the stroke counter?
- It counts strokes by the standard modern mainland Chinese convention, which is what most naming practice uses. Traditional (Kangxi) counts differ for a small number of radicals, so if you are following a specific regional tradition, check against that tradition's dictionary.
