How to Track Study Sessions (Timer, Finishing & Rating)
Learn how starting, pausing, and finishing study sessions updates your reading speed, character lookups, and word memory progress.

Whenever you read an article, dialogue, or lesson in HanyuHub, the Study Timer on the top toolbar tracks your active study duration and vocabulary lookups.
Timer Button States
