A lot of Japanese themselves tend to forget some kanji too.

I do use emails, or better NJstar WP, which basically does everything for you if you want (even write out the whole conjugation of every verb).
I have exercises that I email to a Japanese teacher who corrects them. But before compiling the WP sheet, I write the whole exercise on a sheet of paper and then I will redo it (I won't simply copy it) on the WP.
It is not that hard to remember the strokes and even if I get one or two wrong it is not the end of the world.
Of course we are all different and what works for me might not work for you. I am old and my generation got used to pen and paper and we use it alot, newer generation might find more useful a computer
