I was going through a list of words just now and found out that after I draw the characters the computer automatically says the word and it automatically goes to the next word without me having to put in the tone.

I checked my settings and everything is right. I also played around with it to see if I could do anything to make it work but nothing changed.

Tone practice IS working, as long as I set my setting to ONLY practice tones and not practice writing. So there must be some kind of a glitch in the system

You really don't study 'everything' often do you?

If a tone and a writing prompt one are both due, they will appear together (first writing, then tone). But if you're great at the tone and bad at the character, you're likely to be asked to write it only. No tone will be asked for. Equally, there are tone only prompts for the reverse situation.

it's working now
