can anybody recommend some web apps or sites that will let me draw Japanese ideographs and then translate them into English? One tool I found for Chinese ideographs was at http://ce.linedict.com/dict.html#/cnen/home

Sure it does. Left to right, top to bottom. Be japanese, darnit.

Jisho is pretty sweet. I don't use it for translating that much though. I mostly use it for the kanji lookup by radical feature. I wrote a script that highlights the radicals by how often I click on them (https://i.pantsu.cat/zaeluw.png).

Personally, I think looking up kanji by radical is a much easier and accurate method than trying to draw it and have a program guess. Then again, I've pretty much neglected all writing practice.
